Cirrus Feathery or tufted Looks like horse tails Are found between 6000 and 12000 meters Made of ice crystals May be followed by rain or snow Cirrus Stratus Means sheets or layers Flat gray clouds that cover the whole sky. The Atmosphere. Section 2:. Water and Wind. Properties of Air. Even though it appears that air has no mass, air consists of atoms and molecules that, in fact, have mass.. Because air has mass, it also has other properties, including density and pressure.. Second Grade Science. By: Christy Gibson . Clouds.

The ground warms the air and the temperature rises. The warm air rises.. As the warm air rises, it cools and the water vapour (tiny droplets of water) in the air condenses to form clouds.. Cirrus clouds can best be described as “ice-crystal” clouds that look like wispy curls of hair. These clouds are often the first signs of approaching weather changes. . Cirrus. These clouds are often referred to as “mackerel sky”. The ripples in these clouds look like the scales on a fish and are a sign of unsettled weather to come. .
