  • Cirrus vs. Stratus Clouds: Altitude & Formation Explained
    Cirrus clouds form above 6000 meters.

    * Cirrus clouds are high-altitude clouds composed of ice crystals. They are typically found above 6,000 meters (20,000 feet).

    * Stratus clouds are low-altitude clouds that form below 2,000 meters (6,500 feet).

    Therefore, only cirrus clouds form above 6,000 meters.
