Answer 1

The white feathery clouds are called cirrus.

Explanation:

White feathery clouds found at high altitudes are called Cirrus clouds. They are thin, light, and wispy in appearance, often described as feathery. Cirrus clouds form above 6,000 meters and consist mainly of ice crystals, giving them their distinct white and delicate look. Other types of clouds, like Cumulus, Nimbus, and Stratus, differ in shape and appearance, with Cumulus being cotton ball-shaped, Nimbus being dark and heavy, and Stratus having a layered structure.
