There is no one answer to this question. There are many different types of cloud which all have their bases at different heights. The highest level of cloud will form higher than 7000m high. The lowest is actually fog and that touches the ground. For that reason there is no real answer to how far is it from the ground to the clouds

Clouds can vary in altitude, but on average, the base of clouds is typically around 1,000 meters (3,300 feet) above the ground. The height of clouds can range from just a few hundred meters to over 10,000 meters (33,000 feet) depending on the type of cloud and weather conditions.

Depends on the geography of the area. In a very flat place on land you can see about five miles to the horizon. Somewhere very cold like in Antarctica on the ice sheets the cold can actually bend light allowing you to see Hundreds of miles. On water you can see about 25 miles.

depends on what kind of cloud.... Cumulous clouds ( big white puffy ones) are an indication of good weather. they do not get tall, but if they do they cn produce thunderstorms. the bottoms of these clouds get fairly close to the ground. stratus clouds (look like flat sheets of clouds) these clouds can mean an overcast day or steady rainfall. they may stay in one place for several days. Cirrus clouds (feather clouds) are so high in the sky they are sctaully made of ice particles. they are indicators of fair weather when scattered throughout a clear,blue sky. Other types of clouds:Cumulonimbus(Thunderheads) and Nimbostratus (brings long steady rain) info at: http://www.urbanext.Illinois.edu/weather/2.html

well it depends really because sometimes the clouds are right on the ground which is how we get fog sometimes the clouds arent totally on the ground but are quite low and some clouds are really high

The sky is not an object (it is more like an optical illusion). Clouds are objects.
Clouds occur inside earth's atmosphere, mostly below 100000 feet of altitude.
The top of earth's atmosphere is at roughly 250 miles of altitude (about 1320000 feet).
What we see as the sky is a combination of scattered (mostly blue) sunlight from everywhere in earth's atmosphere that is above us and various visible objects in outer space (everything above earth's atmosphere, e.g. artificial satellites, the moon, the sun, the planets, stars, galaxies). Some of these distant objects are billions of lightyears away from us (one lightyear is nearly 6 trillion miles).

The sky is just air, its the atmosphere and you are always in it.

How do the clouds shield earth from the sun during rainy season since the earth rotates?

Well this is the misconception most of the people have. In the first place as far as rotation of earth is concerned, earth is no different from clouds. When you say earth rotates, it includes the atmosphere(the gaseous layer which surrounds it) as well. So as a whole earth along with the gaseous layer around it rotates, thus effectively there is no relative motion between earth and clouds due to the rotation of earth.
