Is a cirrus a high or low cloud?
Cirrus clouds are high-altitude clouds.
What cloud is thin high and feathery?
Wispy, feathery cluds are called cirrus clouds. Cirrus comes from a word meaning "a curl." Cirrus clouds form at high altitudes, usually above 6 km, and at low temperatures. They are made of ice crystals and indicate fair weather.
Can you put the clouds in lowest to highest order?
low clouds = stratus middle clouds = altostratus high clouds = cirrus vertical development clouds = cumulus
Are cirrus clouds low-level clouds that are thinwispy and white?
Yes
Do clouds form easily when the air pressure is high or low?
Clouds only form when the air pressure is low.
Are cirrus clouds low are high?
Cirrus clouds are at a high altitude.
Is a cirrus a high or low cloud?
Cirrus clouds are high-altitude clouds.
Do Cirrus clouds often form at very low altitudes?
Cirrus clouds are high altitude clouds occurring between 17,000 and 40,000 feet
Can cirrus clouds form snow?
Cirrus clouds are high enough to be at a low enough temperature for the water droplets to form into ice crystals. However, Cirrus clouds are not precipitation clouds, so no snow or rain can fall from them. The clouds that can cause snow to fall in the right conditions are Nimbostratus and Cumulonimbus clouds.
Are cirrus low or high?
Cirrus clouds are high-level clouds. They form at altitudes above 20,000 feet (6,000 meters) in the Earth's atmosphere and are typically composed of ice crystals. These clouds appear thin, wispy, and high in the sky and are often associated with fair weather or the approach of a warm front.
Cirrus clouds appear at low to high altitudes?
just high altitudes
When are clouds formed by ice crystal instead of drops of liquid water?
Cirrus clouds form only at high levels, above about 6kilometers, where temperatures are very low. As a result, cirrus clouds are made of ice crystals. That is the real answer

What are the types of clouds on Earth?
The three main types of clouds are - High Clouds (Cirrus) Middle Clouds (Nimbus) Low clouds(Stratus)
What kind of clouds form low in the atmosphere?
stratus and cirrus
Can you put the clouds in lowest to highest order?
low clouds = stratus middle clouds = altostratus high clouds = cirrus vertical development clouds = cumulus
What are the four main categories of clouds?
1. Cumulus - Clouds with vertical development2. Cirrus - High Clouds3. Altostratus - Middle Clouds4. Stratus -Low Clouds
