What are cirrus status and cumulus clouds?
I'm guessing that you meant to type "stratus". Stratus clouds are the lowest forming cloud in the atmosphere (even fog is a type of stratus). They can produce light precipitation. Also those little "pieces" of cloud that you see sometimes are a type of stratus known as stratus fractus. Cumulus form mid-troposphere. And the cumulus family consists of cumulus humilis, mediocris, and congestus. Cumulonimbus are in the cumulus family and consist of such formations as cumulonimbus calvus, cumulonimbus with pileus, cumulonimbus capillitus, and cumulonimbus incus. Cirrus clouds are those "thin and wispy" looking clouds way up in the troposphere. They are the highest cloud formation.
