a cloud can be close to the surface of the water (or land). When a cloud is close to or at the surface of the water (or land) , it is called fog.

Temperature typically needs to go down in order to create rain. As warm air rises and cools, it condenses into water droplets, forming clouds. When these water droplets come together and become heavy enough, they fall as precipitation in the form of rain.
Clouds are classified into four main categories based on their altitude and appearance: cirrus (high-altitude wispy clouds), cumulus (fluffy clouds with flat bases), stratus (layered clouds covering the sky), and nimbus (dense, dark rain clouds). These categories can further be divided into subcategories based on their specific characteristics and altitude in the atmosphere.
how high does the cirrocumulus go
Atmospheric pressure decreases as you go from the top of a mountain to sea level. This is because there is less air above you at higher altitudes, leading to lower pressure. Conversely, at sea level, more air is pressing down from above, resulting in higher atmospheric pressure.
Clouds can appear pink during the day due to a phenomenon called Mie scattering, where shorter blue and green wavelengths of light are scattered out of the sunlight, leaving longer red wavelengths to dominate and color the clouds pink. The pink color can also be intensified during sunrise or sunset when the sunlight travels through more of the Earth's atmosphere.
