What is the main shape difference between stratus and cumulus clouds?

Answer and explanation

Correct answer: Stratus are layered and cumulus are heap-like

Direct answer: A. Stratus clouds spread horizontally in fairly uniform layers or sheets, while cumulus clouds develop as separate, rounded heaps with a puffy appearance. The names themselves provide a useful clue: stratus suggests a layer, and cumulus suggests a heap or pile. B is wrong because both are cloud forms made of condensed water droplets and/or ice particles, not stone or lava. C is wrong because clouds are visible when enough particles reflect or scatter light. D is wrong because cumulus clouds are atmospheric clouds, not objects restricted to the ground. Memory cue: “Stratus = sheet; cumulus = clump.” Shape is the key distinction here, not the material.
