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.
Nimbostratus is the name of the cloud that can appear at low or mid level and appears as a heavy gray rain cloud.
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.
High cloud, middle cloud, low cloud, and anvil heat.
The lowest clouds, known as surface fog or mist, can form right at ground level. These types of clouds essentially touch the Earth's surface.
A low-level cloud that often produces fog and drizzle is called a stratus cloud. Stratus clouds are characterized by their flat and layered appearance, covering the sky like a blanket. They are typically found below 6,500 feet and are associated with stable weather conditions.
It is a low-level cloud type.
