... Low clouds are mostly formed of water droplets since their bases lie below 6,500 feet (2,000 meters). However, these clouds may also contain ice particles and snow. Vertical clouds form by thermal convection or frontal lifting and can grow to heights in excess of 39,000 feet (12,000 meters). ...
