The Skys the Limit: Exploring the Heights of Earths Clouds - Outforia Low-level clouds occur at ground level up to 6,500 ft (1,981 m), middle clouds occur between 6,500-20,000 ft (1,981 – 6,096 0 m), and high clouds begin at 20,000 ft (6,096 0 m) above the Earth’s surface Cirrus clouds are the highest clouds in the troposphere, forming at 20,000-40,000 ft (6,096 0 – 12,192 m)
Top 10 Highest and Lowest Layers of Clouds Have you ever wondered how high the clouds are? If you have, check out these ten layers of clouds, from the very highest types to the lowest
How High In the Sky Are Clouds? - ThoughtCo Low clouds like cumulus can form anywhere from near the surface up to 6,500 feet high High clouds form at much higher levels, up to 60,000 feet in tropical regions Have you ever looked up at the sky while cloud watching and wondered exactly how high above ground clouds float?
Cloud Heights - Windows to the Universe Low clouds include stratocumulus, cumulus, stratus, cumulonimbus, and nimbostratus clouds These clouds are generally made of water droplets Cumulus and cumulonimbus clouds can be very tall, with their tops as high as middle or high level clouds, but their bases are as low as the other low clouds
Cloud Types - Center for Science Education In the polar regions, the top of the troposphere is lower, so clouds are lower In the tropics, the top of the troposphere is higher, so clouds are higher A few other clouds are found in higher layers of the atmosphere Polar stratospheric clouds are located in a layer of the atmosphere called the stratosphere
Cloud Chart - National Weather Service Low level clouds are generally based at or below 6,500 feet above ground, mid-level clouds are generally based between 6,500 feet and 15,000 feet above ground, and high level clouds are generally based more than 15,000 feet above ground
How High Are the Low Clouds? — Maria Mudd Ruth Cloud heights are given in feet or meters and describe the altitude of the base of the cloud, the base being synonymous with the bottom of the cloud Let's look at a few examples of low clouds--clouds with their bases resting from ground level up to 6,500 feet (2000 meters)
What is cloud height and how else do we measure clouds Cloud height is the distance between the cloud base or the altitude of the lowest visible part of the cloud, and the cloud top or the altitude of the higher visible part of the cloud as opposed to the cloud base In other words, cloud height is how big (high) a particular cloud is
clouds, their types and what it means - Pilotfriend Higher level clouds represent the cloud in the highest levels of the troposphere They mostly appear brilliant white because of the ice crystals at that level They tend to develop at or just above the top part of the troposphere Higher level clouds can vary in shape, thickness and cover
The cloud classification system - Australia Severe Weather 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
