Where are cirrus clouds found in the atmosphere?
in the high region of the troposphere
Is a cirrus a high or low cloud?
Cirrus clouds are high-altitude clouds.
Can you put the clouds in lowest to highest order?
low clouds = stratus middle clouds = altostratus high clouds = cirrus vertical development clouds = cumulus

Are cirrus clouds low are high?
Cirrus clouds are at a high altitude.
What word describes high thin wispy clouds?
The most usual form of high-level clouds are thin and often wispy CIRRUS clouds. Cirrus clouds are usually found at heights greater than 20,000 feet. Cirrus clouds are composed of ice crystals that originate from the freezing of supercooled water droplets.
Where are cirrus clouds found in the atmosphere?
in the high region of the troposphere
Why do cirrus clouds form only at higher altitudes?
Cirrus clouds are comprised of ice crystals so they are found at high altitudes.
Is a cirrus a high or low cloud?

What are feathery high clouds?
Cirrus clouds are thin, wispy clouds usually formed at high altitudes.
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.
What type of cloud is found at high altitudes and form when the wind is strong?
Cirrus Clouds
