Cirrostratus clouds are thin and white and consist of ice crystals. They often cover the entire sky and can cause a halo around the Sun or Moon. However, they are thin enough to allow shadows to be cast on the ground. Therefore, if the sky is completely covered with a thin, white, layered cloud and objects on the ground are casting distinct shadows, then cirrostratus clouds must be present.
