A cirrus cloud is a thin and wispy cloud composed of ice crystals. They are the highest of clouds, forming in the upper troposphere. They may be thick enough to partially obscure the sunlight, or so tenuous as to be nearly invisible.

∙ 13y agoThick, but wispy at the same time. Thick, white and fluffy would make it a Cirrocumulus cloud. So they're thick, but also wispy at the same time, and don't have to be white. They can be, gray, white, or even dark black.

What type of cloud tells you snow is coming?
Cirrostratus Clouds
What type of weather does cirrostratus clouds produce?
hot sunny days
What is Cirrus cloud?
A cirrostratus cloud is a high, thin, generally uniform stratiform type composed of ice-crystals. It is difficult to detect and is capable of forming halos when the cloud takes the form of thin cirrostratus nebulosus.
What clouds form during a stationary front?
cumulusThe type of cloud is cumulus cloud because it has a flat bottom surface. Cumulus clouds bring clear weather.
What type clouds are made of ice crystals?
Some prefixes of cloud names describe the height of the cloud bases. Some clouds' names combine the altitude prefix with the term status or cumulus. The answer for the question is Cirrostratus.
Which type of cloud can be the first sign that a change in weather is coming?
Cirrostratus
What type of wheather does a stratus cloud bring?
fair weather cloud is the stratus cloud...
What type of weather do cumulus cloud bring?
They usually bring fair weather, but if they darken they will precipitate

What type of cloud looks feathery and are made up of ice?
Cirrostratus clouds.
What type of weather does cirrostratus clouds produce?

Is Cirrostratus low-level medium level or high level?
A high-level cloud type.
What is Cirrus cloud?
A cirrostratus cloud is a high, thin, generally uniform stratiform type composed of ice-crystals. It is difficult to detect and is capable of forming halos when the cloud takes the form of thin cirrostratus nebulosus.
Is cirrostratus cloud low-level medium-level or high-level?
Cirrus clouds are thin wispy clouds. They are over 6 kilometers up. It is freezing up there, so they are made of ice crystals. They can mean bad weather is on the way.
What type of high-level cloud that is very thin and causes a halo effect around Earth's sun and moon?
cirrostratus
What type of weather do nimbus clouds bring?
nimbus really means that a cloud that already has rain or snow falling out of it.
What type of weather do cirrocumulus clouds bring?
None. It can be a sign of instability in the upper atmosphere, so, a sign of possible weather to come (from different cloud).
