The atmosphere
Feet. Low clouds form at an altitude of 2000 feet.
Clouds actually start to form at a place called the LCL (lifting condensation level) The LCL is dependent on altitude, humidity, elevation and temperature. Clouds start to form above the LCL
sratus clouds and fog are generally found at the lowest altitude while I do not know where they are formed.

Most are cumulus clouds.

Cirrocumulus clouds are very high altitude clouds that form in the troposphere. They form between 16,000 feet and 39,000 feet above the surface of the Earth.
Above 7000 meters
condensation level
These are called cloud forests. They are named as such because of their ability to effectively trap moisture in the form of clouds due to their high altitude.
by shape and altitude (: Clouds are grouped by shape and altitude.
Cirrus clouds are high altitude clouds occurring between 17,000 and 40,000 feet
Most are cumulus clouds.
