Stratus -- very low on ground level, fog
Cumulus -- sunny day clouds, low in the sky
Cumulonimbus -- they extend through all levels
Cirrus -- ice clouds, the highest clouds
Sixty years ago I was taught in school the above were the types of clouds, but apparently it isn't that simple. Visit the link below to understand cloud types more thoroughly.

What are the four classes of clouds based on altitude?
The cirrus clouds, cirrocumulus clouds, cirrostratus clouds, and cumulonimbus clouds.
What is the stages of clouds?
Clouds are classified into four main categories based on their altitude and appearance: cirrus (high-altitude wispy clouds), cumulus (fluffy clouds with flat bases), stratus (layered clouds covering the sky), and nimbus (dense, dark rain clouds). These categories can further be divided into subcategories based on their specific characteristics and altitude in the atmosphere.
What are the four prefixes for clouds?
The four prefixes for clouds are cirro-, alto-, strato-, and nimbo-. These prefixes are used to classify different types of clouds based on their altitude and characteristics.
What types of clouds form at the lowest altitude?
Stratus clouds typically form at the lowest altitudes. These clouds are layered and can bring steady rain or drizzle. Other low-altitude clouds include cumulus clouds, which are fluffy and white with flat bases.
Are clouds classified by their size and shape?

How are clouds grouped?
by shape and altitude (: Clouds are grouped by shape and altitude.
What is the prefix for clouds at high and middle altitude?
Clouds at high altitude use the prefix cirro while clouds at middle altitude use the prefix alto. I know this is not in the question but clouds at low altitude don't use any specific prefix. I am also in love with Arturo B.
What kind of clouds bring that low altitude and high altitude?
stratus, stratocumulus, and nimbostratus clouds
How are clouds categorized based on their appearance and altitude?
Clouds are categorized based on their appearance and altitude. Appearance categories include cirrus, cumulus, and stratus. Altitude categories include high-level clouds, mid-level clouds, and low-level clouds.
What are clouds classifies by?
by altitude...you should know this
How does altitude affect the compostition of clouds?
Altitude affects the composition of clouds because the troposphere is very cold, hence the clouds up higher are made of ice crystals.
