Many types of clouds can be found in the sky. Cirrocumulus, Cirrus, Cumulonimbus, Altocumulus, Altostratus, Cumulus, Stratus, and Stratocumulus are the different types of clouds. The height of the cloud and shape can tell you which kind of cloud you are looking at.


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.
