What are factors affecting the climate?
Precipitation,Temperature,Altitude,Latitude
What role does altitude play in tropical climate?
Altitude affects the temperature and precipitation patterns in tropical climate. As altitude increases, the temperature decreases, leading to cooler conditions at higher elevations. This can result in a variation of vegetation and ecosystems at different altitudes. Additionally, higher altitudes can trigger orographic precipitation, where moist air is forced to rise over mountains, resulting in increased rainfall on the windward side and a rain shadow effect on the leeward side.
Has a direct affect on precipitation and climate?
Latitude, altitude, side of the continent you are on, solar radiation, greenhouse gasses - your question is too vague AND not properly formulated as a question to elicit a focused answer.

Do low elevation puffy cirrus clouds cause precipitation?
No. First of all, cirrus are high-altitude whispy clouds. Low-altitude puffy clouds are called cumulus. Cumulus clouds can occasionally produce a few drops of rain, but usually indicate fair weather. Precipitation is more often associated with stratus and cumulonimbus clouds.
