How far are the clouds from sea surface?
Clouds vary in height above the Earth's surface from zero (called Fog) to "Noctilucent" clouds, about 50 miles above the surface. Common Cumulus clouds have their bottoms very roughly a mile above the surface. If you know the "dew point" from a weather forecast and there are clouds, you can usually estimate their height by multiplying one third of the difference between the surface temperature and the dew point by 1000 feet, so, for example, if the temperature is 72 degrees (F) and the dewpoint is 60 degrees, the clouds start to form at an altitude of (72-60)/3x1000 feet, or 4,000 feet. If there is a second layer of clouds above that, they are presumably ice clouds and their altitude is probably about (72-32)/3x1000 feet, or 13,000 feet.
Lacy or wispy clouds that form at high altitudes?
Lacy clouds that form at high altitudes are cirrus clouds. These types of clouds usually form before there is a change in weather. These clouds form above 20,000 feet, and they indicate fair weather.
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.

What is the name of the light feathery clouds above 20000 feet?
Cirrus clouds. This type is often called mare's tails. Made of ice crystals blown by winds at high altitude.Feathery clouds are called Cirrus clouds. Cirrus clouds are made of ice crystals instead of water droplets and form at altitudes between five and fourteen kilometers.

What are the names of the clouds?
The different names for clouds are cirrus, stratus, cumulus, and altostratus. While stratus clouds are at an altitude that is below 6000 feet, cirrus clouds are high clouds that form above 20,000 feet.
