Cirrus clouds are the highest in the sky.

Detailed explanation-1: -Cirrus clouds are formed at high altitudes of 8, 000 – 12, 000m. They are the highest clouds in the sky.
Detailed explanation-2: -High-level clouds occur above about 20, 000 feet and are given the prefix “cirro.” Due to cold tropospheric temperatures at these levels, the clouds primarily are composed of ice crystals, and often appear thin, streaky, and white (although a low sun angle, e.g., near sunset, can create an array of color on the clouds).
Detailed explanation-3: -High clouds form in the highest and coldest region of the troposphere from about 5 to 12 km (16, 500 to 40, 000 ft) in temperate latitudes. At this altitude water almost always freezes so high clouds are generally composed of ice crystals or supercooled water droplets.
Detailed explanation-4: -Cirrus clouds form very high in the atmosphere, usually between 15, 000 and 30, 000 feet above ground, and occur year-round in the Keys. Type 1 cirrus are very thin and whispy, and are usually in the shape of strands and hooks, or looking like feathers or horse tails.
Detailed explanation-5: -Typical Altitude: 2, 000-18, 000 ft. Cirrus clouds are the highest of all clouds and are composed entirely of ice crystals.
