High clouds are just what they sound like - clouds that are at high altitudes. These usually form about 6,000 meters in the sky. There are three types of high clouds, all containing the word 'cirrus.'
Cirrus clouds are thin and wispy, sometimes called 'horse tail' clouds.
Cirrocumulus clouds are the big, puffy clouds that look like a big head of curly hair.
Cirrostratus clouds are like big sheets of thin clouds covering the sky, and this makes sense because the word 'stratus' means 'sheet-like.'
Altostratus have that word 'stratus' in them, so we know these are large sheets of clouds. They are gray in color, cover the entire sky and are often so thick that they disrupt sunlight coming into the ground so much that shadows aren't produced on the ground.
Low clouds are clouds at low altitude, usually below 2,000 meters. There are three types of low clouds, all called 'stratus.' You now know this means they cover the entire sky, but this time, much closer to the surface of the Earth.

Stratocumulus are also low and gray, but since they have the word 'cumulus' in them, this means that they have a bit more shape to them. These are lumpy layers across the sky, though they rarely produce rain. Nimbostratus clouds are the ones that make you want to just stay inside all day. They are dark and wet looking, and often produce a decent amount of rain.

Types of clouds and their formation process
Explanation:
Clouds Formation
- Clouds form when moist, warm air rises up and get cool. water vapor condenses on tiny particles to form liquid water clouds.
- and for the Condensation process these conditions required such as
- To attain the dew point air must be cooled.
- There must be solid particles for the water vapor to condense on.
There are three types of Clouds
- Cirrus clouds
- Stratus clouds
- Cumulus clouds
