What it a high altitude cloud made up of smaller clouds?
cirrus
Is a cirrus a high or low cloud?
Cirrus clouds are high-altitude clouds.
What are high feathery looking clouds called?
They are called Cirrus Clouds and are at 16,500 - 45,000 feet. They are made from tiny ice particles. Cirrus clouds are feathery looking because of the very high winds at that altitude.
Why are clouds made of ice crystals rather than drops of water?
Many clouds are made up of ice crystals because they are at high altitudes. The higher the altitude, the colder the temperature. Cirrus clouds are primarily made out of ice crystals, since they are located high in the atmosphere.
What type of clouds are wispy and occur very high altitude?
cirrus
What it a high altitude cloud made up of smaller clouds?
cirrus
Are cirrus clouds low are high?
Cirrus clouds are at a high altitude.
What kind of clouds bring that low altitude and high altitude?
stratus, stratocumulus, and nimbostratus clouds
Is a cirrus a high or low cloud?
Cirrus clouds are high-altitude clouds.
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.

Why are high altitude clouds made of ice crystals and low altitude clouds are made of liquid water?
The higher you get in the atmosphere, the more cold it is. For example, the earth's core is very very hot, and it gets colder the more away you are from it. Or something like that. :P.
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.
What type of clouds are wispy and occur very high altitude?
cirrus
How does altitude affect the composition of clouds?
The greenhouse effect is weak for low altitude clouds, so their albedo effect dominates and they cool the Earth's climate. In contrast, cold high altitude cirrus clouds may either cool or warm the climate.
How does altitude affect composition of clouds?
No, normally they are made of water.
