cumulus clouds
The three main altitudes of clouds are low clouds, which are typically found below 6,500 feet; middle clouds, which are usually between 6,500 and 20,000 feet; and high clouds, which are typically above 20,000 feet. These altitudes can vary depending on the specific cloud types and weather conditions.
snow clouds
Not necessarily. The word stratus means layered. If the stratus clouds are low enough they can result in ground fog. Stratus clouds can also produce a light, but steady rain or snow.
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.
Cirrus- thin and wispy, occur at high altitudes. Stratus- sheetlike and layered, occur at lower altitudes. Cumulus- white and fluffy with flat bottoms, occur at various altitudes.

Layered or stratified clouds are stratus clouds. These types of clouds are low-lying gray clouds that sit under 6,000 feet.

Nimbo-stratus and stratus clouds form at low altitudes.

Cirrus clouds are high altitude clouds occurring between 17,000 and 40,000 feet
Yes. Alto clouds form the medium altitude group, but stratus clouds are at low altitudes.
