If a cloud is low, layered, widespread, and giving long-lasting light rain, which cloud is more likely?

Answer and explanation

Correct answer: Nimbostratus

Correct answer: A, Nimbostratus. The name and appearance provide useful clues: nimbus refers to rain-bearing cloud, while stratus refers to a layered or sheet-like form. Nimbostratus is generally widespread and can produce steady, continuous, or long-lasting precipitation, often light to moderate rather than a brief thunderstorm. A is correct because it matches all three clues: layered structure, broad coverage, and persistent rain. B is wrong because cirrus is high, thin, and usually fibrous. C is wrong because ordinary cumulus is puffy and commonly associated with fair weather, although clouds can develop further. D is wrong because cumulonimbus is a towering convective cloud associated with showers, thunderstorms, and sometimes hail. Memory cue: nimbus plus stratus means a widespread rain layer.
