How High Are Clouds?

Look at the sky when the weather is clear, when it is cloudy, and when it is rainy. 

The clouds you see not only look different; they are different. Some of us might have noticed this from the start, especially the clouds which appear to be higher and heavier. In meteorology, a cloud is an aerosol comprising a visible mass of minute liquid droplets, frozen crystals, or particles suspended in the atmosphere above the surface of a planetary body. In other words, other planets in our solar system possess the ability to manage the existence of clouds in them. On many occasions, people find themselves asking one question, how high are clouds?  Let's find out.
 

What Are The Types Of Clouds And How High Are They?

The clouds existing on Earth come in different forms, ranging from how high they are, to partially how they are structured as regards components.

Cumulus Clouds  Big, fluffy, and separate clouds are called Cumulus clouds. Cumulus clouds are clouds which have flat bases and are often described as "puffy", "cotton-like" or "fluffy" in appearance.

 They are quite low, only about 2,000 feet high, and not very thick. With rising air pushing them up, they can become thicker and begin to look dark, thereby turning into storm clouds. At this stage, they are called Cumulo-nimbus. They can appear very tall, measuring from 1,500 to about 25,000 feet. And these black and white storms can create thunderstorms

Stratus Clouds  Stratus clouds are low-level clouds characterized by horizontal layering with a uniform base, as opposed to convective or cumuliform clouds that are formed by rising thermals. 

Stratus Clouds are higher than Cumulus clouds and start about 3,000 feet up. The lower stratus clouds are like sheets of gray. When they line the sky, the day often looks miserable and it may rain. Higher stratus clouds are called Alto-stratus, giving the sky a watery appearance.

Cirrus Clouds   Cirrus is a genus of atmospheric cloud generally characterized by thin, wispy strands, giving the type its name from the Latin word cirrus, meaning a ringlet or curling lock of hair. 

Cirrus Clouds are the highest of them all, and they appear to float between 20,000 and 40,000 feet above ground level. They are made of ice crystals because it is so cold that high up. Depending on the winds and their height, cirrus clouds can look wispy and thin.
