Types of Clouds by Altitude (detailed) — free printable diagram

About this illustration

A detailed, labelled educational diagram titled 'Types of Clouds by Altitude'. The diagram uses a vertical altitude scale (0–12 km) on the left and organises 10 cloud types into three altitude bands: High Clouds (7–12 km: Cirrus, Cirrocumulus, Cirrostratus), Middle Clouds (2–7 km: Altostratus, Altocumulus), and Low Clouds (0–2 km: Stratus, Stratocumulus, Nimbostratus). A separate purple panel on the right shows Vertical Clouds (Cumulus and Cumulonimbus) that span all levels. Each cloud type is illustrated with a representative image and a weather association icon. A legend at the bottom explains 7 key features of the diagram.
