Question

EXPLAIN cirrus clouds​

Answer 1

Answer:

Cirrus clouds are thin clouds made of ice crystals that form very high in the sky, above 18,000 feet. These clouds are the highest clouds, and the temperature at the height where they form is about 36 degrees Celsius below zero, which is why they are made of ice crystals.

Where these clouds form, the wind blows between 100 and 150 miles per hour, making them look thin and wispy, as if they were painted with the light stroke of a paintbrush on a blue canvas. No other kind of cloud moves as fast as a cirrus cloud.
