Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Nimbostratus clouds are low-level dark gray clouds that produce steady precipitation, usually rain or light snow. Cumulonimbus clouds also produce precipitation, but they are tall and often associated with thunderstorms. Cirrus, cirrostratus, and altostratus clouds are all higher in the atmosphere and typically do not produce precipitation on their own.
