Cumulus clouds typically form at altitudes ranging from 1,000 to 6,000 feet (300 to 2,000 meters). Cirrus clouds are found much higher, usually at altitudes above 20,000 feet (6,000 meters). Cumulonimbus clouds, which are associated with thunderstorms, can extend from about 1,000 feet to over 60,000 feet (300 to 18,000 meters), depending on the strength of the storm.

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.
What are the 5 types of clouds?
The five main types of clouds are cirrus (high-altitude, wispy clouds), cumulus (fluffy, white clouds), stratus (layered clouds covering the sky), nimbus (rain-bearing clouds), and cumulonimbus (towering clouds that bring thunderstorms).

What are the ten types of clouds?
The ten main types of clouds are cirrus, cirrostratus, cirrocumulus, altocumulus, altostratus, nimbostratus, cumulus, stratocumulus, stratus, and cumulonimbus. Each type of cloud has distinct characteristics based on its altitude, shape, and composition.
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.
