  • High-Altitude Clouds: Cirrus vs. Stratus Above 6,000m
    The answer is cirrus. Here's why:

    * Cirrus clouds are high-altitude clouds, typically forming above 6,000 meters (20,000 feet). They are made of ice crystals and appear as wispy, feathery strands.

    * Stratus clouds are low-altitude clouds, generally forming below 2,000 meters (6,500 feet). They are often layered and appear as a gray sheet covering the sky.

    So, the clouds that form above 6,000 meters are cirrus clouds.
