Step-by-step explanation:

A stratus cloud is characterized by its presence in low altitudes and it's the flat and hazy appearance (as you can see in the image I added). They are formed when fog lifts or when air moves close to the ground moves over a region causing cooling in it as well as an increase of humidity.
