Cloud Types Clouds are given different names based on their shape and their height in the sky. Some clouds are near the ground. Others are almost as high as jet planes fly. Some are puffy like cotton. Others are grey and uniform. The diagram below shows where different types of clouds are located in the sky. Visit the Cloud Gallery to see photos of the different cloud types. 1  The highest clouds in the atmosphere are cirrocumulus, cirrus, and cirrostratus. 2  Mid-level clouds include altocumulus and altostratus. 3  The lowest clouds in the atmosphere are stratus, cumulus, and stratocumulus.

- The base of an altostratus cloud is found within the same levels as the altocumulus cloud. These clouds are much larger in size as they may stretch for miles, similar to stratus clouds. They are comprised of ice crystals and water droplets. In thinner altostratus clouds, the sun may be dimly visible, commonly referred to as a watery sun. If this cloud begins to precipitate, the base usually lowers, classifying it as a nimbostratus.

- Cumulonimbus clouds form in the lower part of the troposphere, the layer of the atmosphere closest to the surface of the Earth. This region due to evaporation and the greenhouse effect produces alot of the warm updrafts that make creation of cumulus and cumulonimbus clouds possible.

Types of Clouds High clouds: Cirrus, cirrostratus and cirrocumulus clouds are delicate wispy clouds that are located at altitudes above 20,000 feet and composed of ice crystals, because at such altitudes temperatures are perpetually below freezing. Cirrostratus is a thin cloud layer that causes a halo to appear around the sun and moon.

Climate & Seasons The Cloud Forest is located on the eastern side of the Andes (between the mountain ranges and the upper Amazon basin). These areas make a shield to the humid currents that rise from the Amazonian jungle. Between 1.000m (3.280ft) to 3.500m (11.480ft) there exists a thermal inversion zone.

Types of Clouds gray or blue-gray mid level clouds composed of ice crystals and water droplets. The clouds usually cover the entire sky. In the thinner areas of the clouds, the sun may be dimly visible as a round disk. Altostratus clouds often form ahead of storms with continuous rain or snow.

Types of Clouds Alto Clouds Altostratus clouds are gray or blue-gray mid level clouds composed of ice crystals and water droplets. The clouds usually cover the entire sky. In the thinner areas of the clouds, the sun may be dimly visible as a round disk.irrostratus clouds are thin, sheetlike high clouds that often cover the entire sky. They are so thin that the sun and moon can be seen through them. Cirrostratus clouds usually come 12-24 hours before a rain or snow storm. Cirrocumulus clouds appear as small, rounded white puffs that appear in long rows.

Horse Latitudes The doldrums, usually located between 5° north and 5° south of the equator, are also known as the Intertropical Convergence Zone or ITCZ for short. The trade winds converge in the region of the ITCZ, producing convectional storms that produce some of the world's heaviest precipitation regions.

Mid_Clouds Altocumulus (AC) clouds form much higher above the ground than cumulus, and are usually much flatter and thinner, often appearing as scales or patches in a relatively continuous layer. In the Keys, AC are usually based between 7,000 and 15,000 feet above ground, and can occur at any time of year.

The Magellanic Clouds Our galaxy's brightest satellite systems are the Magellanic Clouds, obvious naked-eye objects deep in the southern skies. They are shown together here in a 45-minute exposure on Ektachrome 400 taken from Cerro Tololo, Chile (and scanned at fairly high density), using a Canon 50mm lens wide open at.or example, the most massive stars blow away large amounts of gas in winds, driven as their radiation pushes on the outer gas layers-most efficiently on atoms of heavier elements such as carbon, nitrogen, and oxygen, so that these winds are much less pronounced for stars in the Clouds.

Cloud Names by Altitude Cirrus: They are the highest of all clouds and they are composed purely of ice crystals. They occur, specifically, at an altitude of  16,500 to 45,000 feet and they can be found all over the world. Although they are known to form precipitation, none of it reaches the ground.

Enchanted Learning Search Clouds are defined by both the way they look and how high they are in the atmosphere. For example, cirro (meaning wisp of hair) is a prefix given to high-altitude clouds (above 20,000 feet). Alto (meaning high) is a prefix given to mid-altitude clouds (between 6,000 and 20,000 feet).

High Clouds â Definition High Clouds. A term used to signify cirriform clouds that are composed of ice crystals and generally have bases above 20,000 feet. The main types of high clouds are cirrus, cirrocumulus, and cirrostratus. This altitude applies to the temperate zone. In the polar regions, these clouds may be found at lower altitudes. In the tropics, the defining altitudes for cloud types are generally higher. Cirriform. Clouds composed of small particles, mostly ice crystals.

- Lower level clouds. Lower level clouds consist of those clouds in the lower layers of the atmosphere. Because of the relatively low temperatures at this level of the atmosphere, lower level clouds usually reflect lower amounts of light and therefore usually exhibit low contrast.

- By convention, clouds are vertically divided into three étages (levels); low, middle, and high. Each étage is defined by the range of levels at which each type of cloud typically appears. Divided by their height the ten types of clouds are... Cirrus (Ci), Cirrocumulus (Cc), and Cirrostratus (Cs) are high level clouds.

What are clouds? Clouds are made of tiny drops of water or ice crystals that settle on dust particles in the atmosphere. The droplets are so small-a diameter of about a hundredth of a millimetre-that each cubic metre of air will contain 100 million droplets.

What are clouds? Clouds will either be composed of ice or water droplets depending on the height of the cloud and the temperature of the atmosphere. Because the droplets are so small, they can remain in liquid form in temperatures as low as -30 °C. Extremely high clouds at temperatures below -30 °C are composed of ice crystals.he warmer the air is, the more water vapour it can hold. Clouds are usually produced through condensation-as the air rises, it will cool and reducing the temperature of the air decreases its ability to hold water vapour so that condensation occurs.

Cloud 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. The droplets and crystals may be made of water or various chemicals. On Earth, clouds are formed as a result of saturation of the air when it is cooled to its dew point, or when it gains sufficient moisture from an adjacent source to raise the dew point to the ambient temperature. They are seen in the Earth's h
