What are the 3 cloud layers and their names?
High clouds are grouped together under a general name of “cirrus.” This group includes cirrus, cirrocumulus, and cirrostratus. In temperate geographical latitudes, these clouds move in altitudes of between 5 and 13 kilometers, in the tropics, the altitude is between 6 and 18 kilometers, while in the polar regions it is between 3 and 8 kilometers. A preposition “alto” is given to the name of the middle high clouds. They include altocumulus and altostratus. These clouds move in temperate geographical latitudes in an altitude of 2 to 6 kilometers, in the tropics at 2 to 8 kilometers, and in the polar regions at 2 to 4 kilometers. Low clouds occur in the altitude of up to 2 kilometers. They include stratocumulus and stratus clouds. Stratus clouds are also called cloud layers. They extend from the vicinity of the ground to about 2000 meters above ground. Because of that, they are sometimes called high fog. Their base structure is not well organized and they give the impression of grey foggy
