What is the difference between a Stratus and Stratonimbus Cloud?

• A stratus cloud is small and a stratonimbus cloud is tall

• A stratonimbus cloud is darker than a stratus cloud and causes rain

• A stratus cloud only covers part of the sky, and a stratonimbus covers the whole sky.

Stratonimbus clouds cause rain all day because...

• The clouds are very wide, so they spend a long time over one area

• The clouds are very small, but move very slowly over one area.

• The clouds turn into cumulonimbus clouds that cause hail.
