Because their both prefixes
The three major types of clouds are cirrus, stratus, and cumulus. Cirrus clouds are wispy and high in the sky, stratus clouds are flat and layered, and cumulus clouds are puffy and can grow vertically.
Cirrus clouds are named after the Latin word "cirrus," which means "a lock of hair" or "curl of cloud." They are thin, wispy clouds that resemble strands of hair or feather-like wisps.
Another name for this type of cloud is thunderhead
Nimbus Cloud
The name of a cloud with tiny crystal droplets inside is a cirrostratus cloud. These clouds form at high altitudes and create a thin, transparent veil covering the sky.
The cloud you are referring to is called a cirrus cloud. Cirrus clouds are thin, wispy clouds that form at high altitudes and are often associated with fair weather.
Cirrus
That would be Cirrus clouds.

Cirrus Stratus Cumlulus Nimbus
If you mean above 20,000 feet, it's probably a cirrus cloud.
Alto cumulus (Ac) - the name derives from the Latin words altus = high and cumulus = mass or heap. Alto cumulus is a member of the ten fundamental cloud types (or cloud genera). It is a middle-level cloud, thus they usually form between 2 to 7 kilometers (6,500 to 22,000 ft).

hey...umm....i think i know from last years science class, i think is cirrus..
Cirrus, cumulus, stratus, nimbostratus, altostratus, altocumulus, cirrostratus, and cumulonimbus are eight common types of clouds.
Yes. The highest clouds are the cirrus clouds, which are thin, wispy, and white, and there are cirro-cumulus clouds, which are puffy clouds. The middle clouds are the altostratus clouds which blanket the sky. There is also the altocumulus clouds which is also a puffy cloud. Lastly, there is the cumulus cloud which is as well puffy. Finally, we have the lowest clouds. the first one is the stratocumulus cloud which is ALSO puffy. there is the nimbostratus cloud which produces rain. then there is the stratus cloud, also know as fog. Finally there is the cumulonibus cloud, also known as a thunderhead. it has not either a high, middle, or low cloud. it stretches from the high clouds to the low clouds. as you can guess by its name, it produces heavy rain and thunderstorms. There are many clouds with the same features but an easy way to remember them is by the parts of its name: cirro/cirrus- high alto- middle cumulus/cumulo- puffy nimbo/nimbus- produces rain stratus/strato- low
You may mean Cirrus clouds, characterised by thin wispy strands, they also have the common name of 'mares tails'.
