Is your FOV low? For some reason the FOV kinda breaks shadows.

1.) The shadows don't cover the entire scene because your sunlight range isn't big enough, try raising it but not too much to where your shadows will be low quality.(Can be combated with raising the sunlight buffer size in Render settings, though this will take a performance hit depending on your computer's specs.)

2.) The scenery is disappearing behind the cloud because of a common graphical issue regarding transparent objects/textures, which can be fixed be adjusting the 'Render depth' option in the timeline properties of the scenery object when selected in the timeline.

That only happens when SSAO is enabled(messed with the FOV of the sun when rendering its depth buffer to render shadows), and it's going to be fixed in the next update.
