Stratus clouds are low-level clouds, typically found between 2,000 and 6,500 feet (600 to 2,000 meters) above the ground.

However, the exact height can vary depending on:

* Location: Stratus clouds in mountainous areas might form at a higher altitude than those over flat terrain.

* Geographic Latitude: Stratus clouds tend to be lower in the tropics and higher in polar regions.

* Time of Year: Seasonal variations in atmospheric conditions can affect the height of stratus clouds.
