Class B air space question
It seems that class B in America is clear of clouds and roughly the same visibility requirements as in Europe.
My question is whether it is the exact same in Europe or do you have to be above a cloud at least 1500 and such?

Clear of cloud means that you remain clear of any clouds, i.e. you do not fly through clouds.
VMC minima are generally described as ‘x’ ft vertically and ‘x’ metres horizontally clear, or just ‘clear’, meaning that you are permitted to fly right up to, but not into the cloud.
BTW: Asking a question is never stupid. If it is something you need to or want to know, then stupidity lies in remaining deliberately ignorant.
