A cumulonimbus cloud forms at heights less than 20,000 feet, but can extend upwards much further. The top of a cumulonimbus cloud can reach 39,000 feet or sometimes higher into the atmosphere.
How thick is a cumulonimbus cloud?
They are around 1–2 km thick. The largest cumulus species is cumulus congestus (Figure 19), always more than about 2 km deep to several kilometers deep and generally much taller than they are wide.
