Cirrus clouds are usually formed at about 8 km or five miles and are made entirely of ice crystals.

in assessment to diminish altitude clouds, cirrus clouds are made out of ice crystals, giving them that wispy, "mare's tail" seem in assessment to the fluffier-finding clouds at decrease altitudes, that are made out of water vapor. bigger altitudes = less warm air --> ice crystals instead of water vapor.

depends on latitude . near equator they develop on higher level but it depends on the freezing level which near the equate begins around 15000 ft so cirrus starts from higher since it is frozen particles .
