Explanation:

Cirrus clouds are formed at high altitudes (8,000 – 12,000m). They are thin and detached clouds having a feathery appearance. They are always white in colour. Clouds with extensive vertical development are cumulus and cumulonimbus. And they cause heavy rainfall and thunderstorms. Stratus clouds are the lowest forming and are often called fog or mists when they are earth-bound Stratus clouds are formed when a large air mass cools at the same time (e.g. – a warm air parcel drifts into or above a cooler region). They are therefore, horizontally forming.
