There are varying numbers for this, but generally, you will find alto stratus clouds between 6,500 feet and 20,000 feet.

Does altostratus clouds rain?
cirrus clouds cant rain because they are to high the altitude in them is just to much. and the cloud is only ice crystal
What altitude does a nimbus cloud form at?
Low or medium.
What are all the cloud names?
There are three families of clouds. The families are cirrus, cumulus, and stratus. Types of clouds in the cloud families are: cirrocumulus, cirrostratus, altostratus, altocumulus, nimbostratus, stratocumulus, and cumulonimbus.
HOW Do altostartus clouds form?
Altostratus is caused by a large air mass that is lifted then condensed, usually by an incoming frontal system and can be found over widespread areas. Altostratus clouds are potentially dangerous, because they can cause ice accretion on aircraft. Their altitude is from 6,500-20,000 feet (2,400-6,100 m). They are primarily composed of water droplets.
A puffy cloud in the middle of altitude?
It's called a cumulus cloud
What is the height of a altostratus cloud?
The altitude varies from 7900 to 20000 feet, appearing in sheet or layer form
How does altostratus clouds form?
Altostratus clouds are formed when a large stable air mass is lifts causing water vapor to condense into a cloud.

Where does Mammatus cloud form?
Mammatus clouds form on the underside of a storm cloud and are most often associated with the anvil cloud that extends from a cumulonimbus. They have also been seen under altocumulus, altostratus, stratocumulus, and cirrus clouds, as well as volcanic ash clouds.
