немного из метеорологии.
В зависимости от высоты основания все облака принято делить на четыре семейства:
Облака верхнего яруса (Zк > 6 км);
Б. Облака среднего яруса (2 км =< Zк=< 6 км);
В. Облака нижнего яруса (Zк < 2 км);
Г. Облака вертикального развития; высота основания этих облаков, как правило, меньше 2 км, однако их вершина может находиться на любой высоте в пределах тропосферы.
В стратосфере на высотах 22—30 км образуются перламутровые облака. В верхней мезосфере на высотах 82—85 км в летнее время, когда здесь наиболее низкие температуры, наблюдаются серебристые (или мезосферные) облака. Это очень тонкие облака, настолько прозрачные, что через них хорошо видны звезды
