Perhaps you could do a LOD (level of detail) shift as you go through the cloud
layer and the ground is briefly obscured. That's supposing a) you can keep the
two detail levels looking similar and b) you are planning a cloud layer.

Generally, what looks good at ground level _could_ be made to look good from
space, since that's how it works in nature :)
