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 are feathery high clouds?
Cirrus clouds are thin, wispy clouds usually formed at high altitudes.
Why are there few or no clouds in the atmosphere?
If there are almost no clouds in the atmosphere, that means there is a high pressure system, which causes cold, dry air to come down from the top of the troposphere.
What types of clouds form in the lower atmosphere?
The lowest area of the atmosphere is the lower troposphere.
What are lens- shaped clouds and how are they formed?
Lens shaped clouds are called lenticular clouds. They are usually formed by moist air rising in the high-altitude skies over a mountain or range of mountains.
How high is the stratus cloud?
Stratus clouds are about 6,000 ft up in the atmosphere.
How do clouds form and how are they classified?
Clouds are formed by when tiny droplets of vapor form together.Clouds are classified by how high up in the atmosphere they occur.
What are clouds that are very high in the atmosphere?
they are called flationexary clouds
When water evaporates it goes into the sky and forms what?
Clouds are formed in the atmosphere.
What are feathery high clouds?
Cirrus clouds are thin, wispy clouds usually formed at high altitudes.
Is fog an clouds part of the atmosphere?
Yes, but they are clouds that are not high up in the sky. They are low clouds!
Does ozone help clouds remain high in the atmosphere?
no
What type of clouds are very high in the atmosphere?
cirrus
Does the temperature in Antarctica allow clouds to form?
You'll see clouds in Antarctica that you can only see in polar environments, including noctilucent clouds -- electric-blue-coloured, and polar stratospheric clouds or PSCs, also known as nacreous clouds, These clouds are formed very high -- 50,000 to 80,000 feet -- in the atmosphere, and appear due to a mix of ice crystals and meteoric dust. this means that they are not formed the way that most clouds over earth are formed. These clouds form due to sunlight and not to temperature.
Where are cirrus clouds found in the atmosphere?
in the high region of the troposphere
Why are there no clouds in high pressure?
because of hydrogen present in atmosphere.
How are fluffy clouds formed?
Fluffy clouds are called cumulus clouds. Cumulus clouds may be formed by three things: supercooled water droplets, ice crystals, or water vapor. What they are made of depends on the temperature. They are formed when warm surface air rises from the earth and the temperature in the atmosphere drops.
Why are there few or no clouds in the atmosphere?
If there are almost no clouds in the atmosphere, that means there is a high pressure system, which causes cold, dry air to come down from the top of the troposphere.
