Question 1 of 27070

Which list of clouds is in sequence, from highest to lowest in the sky?

🔍 Key Concepts

• High, middle, and low cloud families in basic meteorology • The prefix cirro- usually indicates high-level clouds, alto- indicates mid-level clouds, and names without those prefixes are often low-level • Recognizing how stratus-type clouds are classified at different levels

💭 Think About

• First, decide which cloud type in the options is normally found at the highest levels of the troposphere • Next, figure out which of the remaining cloud types is usually a mid-level cloud • Finally, decide which cloud type is typically lowest, closer to the surface, and see which option matches that top‑to‑bottom order

✅ Before You Answer

• Verify that cirrostratus is part of the high cloud family (check its typical altitude range) • Confirm that altostratus belongs to the middle cloud family • Check that plain stratus (without cirro- or alto-) is typically a low cloud near the surface
