With the exception of rare stratospheric noctilucent clouds, cirrus forms the highest cloud layer (also cirrostratus or cirrocumulus). In the tropics (where the troposphere is thicker, that is tropopause is higher) cirrus can generally occur up to 50-60,000 feet (15-18000 metres), sometimes higher when associated with tropical cumulonimbus anvils.

Note that the possible height of cloud varies with location and airmass, so the highest cloud can occur in the tropics, the lower heights (with cirrus possible at 10,000 ft or 3500 m) in polar regions.

What cloud that can appear at low or mid level and appears as a heavy gray rain cloud is called?

The cloud is called a nimbostratus cloud. These clouds are thick and produce continuous precipitation, often resulting in steady rain or snow. They typically form in the middle to low levels of the atmosphere.
