Why does little precipitation from cirrus clouds reach the ground?

Answer and explanation

Correct answer: Because they are high, thin clouds made mainly of ice crystals

Correct answer: A. Cirrus clouds occur at great altitude and are usually thin, wispy clouds composed mainly of ice crystals. Because they contain relatively limited condensed water and are in very cold, dry upper air, they generally do not produce substantial precipitation that reaches the surface. Ice particles may fall from them, but they can evaporate or change directly into vapour before arriving at the ground. Option B is wrong because cirrus clouds are high-level clouds, not clouds that always form at the surface. Option C is obviously unrelated; clouds are not made of lava. Option D is also unrelated because light does not determine whether a cloud contains precipitation. A is correct because it identifies both the high altitude and icy, thin structure of cirrus. Memory cue: “cirrus means high, thin, icy streaks.”
