Yes, it is a run-on, because it is attempting to express two complete, separate thoughts without using the proper joiners. This joiner can be either the proper punctuation (a semicolon), or it could be another word (a conjunction, such as “and”). To be a correct sentence, it needs to read: “There are clouds in the sky; it is raining.” or “There are clouds in the sky and it is raining.” Either one works.

Yes. “There are clouds [in] the sky.” is a sentence. “It is raining.” is a sentence. You -can- join these sentences with a semicolon, (not a comma), as follows:
There are clouds in the sky; it is raining.
You can make these two separate sentences, as follows:
There are clouds in the sky. It is raining.
You can make these joined by the word “and”:
There are clouds in the sky, and it is raining.

Yes.
It should read: ‘There are clouds in [not on] the sky, and it is raining’ or ‘There are clouds in the sky; it is raining’
