• Cumulus clouds are often found at lower to middle altitudes, usually between 6,500 to 20,000 feet.
• Stratus clouds form at low altitudes, below 6,500 feet.
• Nimbostratus clouds can extend through a wide range of altitudes, from low to high, depending on the vertical development of the cloud system.
