Position right inside a cloud (7)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

stratus

I'm a little stuck... Click here to teach me more about this clue!

This clue could be a double definition.

'position right' is the first definition.
Although both the answer and definition are singular nouns, I cannot see how they can define each other.

'a cloud' is the second definition.
(stratus is a kind of cloud)

'inside' is the link.

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for stratus that I've seen before include "Large dark low cloud" , "Continuous cloud type" , "Cloud cover" , "Could carry rain" , "Grey cover" .)

I've seen this clue in The Mirror.
