Are cirrus clouds high or low?

Cirrus is also a high altitude cloud. It has narrow bands or patches of thin, generally white, fleecy parts. It forms one of the main types of clouds while the other two are Cirrostratus and Cirrocumulus. There are a lot of similarities between cirrus clouds and cirrostratus clouds. Cirrus clouds develop in filaments or patches. Their white colour is due to their ice crystal composition. They come in several shapes and patterns in representation of the fluctuating wind. Cirrus is less widespread than Cirrostratus clouds.

Cirrus clouds vary in thickness. It allows the passage of light through them and do not develop in a complete layer. Cirrus clouds tend to develop on days with fine weather and lighter winds at the surface. Cirrus clouds usually precede the cirrostratus clouds. Cirrus does not precipitate except when it results from dissipating thunderstorms. It consists of larger droplets and the cloud normally dissipates and vanishes completely.
