What clouds are formed high in the atmosphere?

The highest clouds are polar mesospheric clouds, which, at heights from 76,000 to 85,000 m (altitude) are much higher than other types of clouds, such as cirrus and cumulonimbus. Cumulonimbus can exceptionally reach 23,000 m at the very top of a peaked formation, but these clouds normally form mainly within the 2,000 to 16,000 m range. Cirrus clouds, at a maximum height of about 18,000 m in tropical zones, are also much lower than polar mesosphericclouds.
