Cirrusclouds are composed of ice crystals and shaped like hairlike filaments.
The streaks point in the direction of the wind and may appear straight giving the clouds the appearance of a comma (cirrus uncinus), or may by seem tangled, an indication of high level turbulence.
Cirrusclouds contribute to the earth's greenhouse effect and its albedo (the amount of sunlight the earth reflects).
