  1. Lenticular clouds form on the downwind side of mountains. Wind blows most types of clouds across the sky, but lenticular clouds seem to stay in one place. Air moves up and over a mountain, and at the point where the air goes past the mountaintop the lenticular cloud forms, and then the air evaporates on the side farther away from the mountains.


  2. Theoretically possible, but probably never happens.  The atmosphere is very restless and it is all but impossible for the air to stand completely still at any one spot.   So clouds are always moving, but they may slow down to very close to a standstill sometimes.

  3. Yes, if the wind flow where the clouds exist happens to go calm.  It would be a rare event.

  4. No they can't as the earth is always moving so the clouds will always be on the move, its like the sea that will always move because of the earths movement, however slight it may be.

  5. it may appear so
