Why are clouds made of ice crystals rather than drops of water?

Many clouds are made up of ice crystals because they are at high altitudes. The higher the altitude, the colder the temperature. Cirrus clouds are primarily made out of ice crystals, since they are located high in the atmosphere.

Why are clouds at the top of the troposphere made of ice crystals rather than drops of water?
It is very cold up there, and water droplets freeze into ice.
Are cumulus clouds made out of water drops?
ALL clouds are made out of water drops, though some clouds like cirrus are made of ice.
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.

To fall in drops of water from the clouds?
rained
Why are clouds form at the top of the troposphere made of ice crystals rather the drops of water?
caca
Why are the clouds that form at the top of the troposphere made of ice crystals rather than drops of water?
Because it is very cold and the water turns into ice crystals. So that is why water droplets turn into ice crystals
Why are clouds of the top of the troposphere made of ice crystals rather than drops of water?
It is very cold up there, and water droplets freeze into ice.

When are clouds formed by ice crystals instead of drops of water?
When the dew point is below freezing, the liquid water may change directly into ice crystals.
What are clouds like?
A cloud is made up of liquid drops or crystals of frozen water suspended in the atmosphere

Why are clouds at the top of the troposphere made up of ice crystals rather than?
the troposphere is made up of ice crystals because the clouds are made up of water droplets and so they turn into crystals.
Is The water drops from cloud?
Water drops from clouds is rain.
Why are clouds that form at the top of the troposphere made of ice crystals rather than drops of water?
Clouds are made up of very small water droplets which are suspended in the air. If the air continues to cool, the small droplets will join together to form larger droplets or ice crystals. Eventually the weight of the water drops or ice crystals may be heavy enough to make them fall as precipitation(rain, snow, hail or ice). The higher clouds which don't produce precipitation are formed of the crystals while the lower clouds which produce precipitation are formed of water droplets which are the melted crystals.
