A cirrostratus cloud is a high, thin, generally uniform stratiform type composed of ice-crystals. It is difficult to detect and is capable of forming halos when the cloud takes the form of thin cirrostratus nebulosus.

Cirrus clouds are very thin and wispy clouds that don't produce rain. It was named after the Latin word for curly hair.
