What is the Weight of Cloud?

The average weight of a cloud is about 500,000 kilograms or 5 million kilograms depending on its size.

How Is Cloud Weight Measured?

Clouds contain tiny water droplets or ice crystals suspended in the air. Adding up the mass of all these droplets gives the cloud�s total weight.

Factors Affecting Cloud Weight

• Type of cloud: Cumulus clouds are heavier than cirrus clouds.
• Size and density: Larger, denser clouds weigh more.

Despite Its Weight, Why Does a Cloud Float?

Because the water droplets are spread out and air beneath is denser, the cloud floats despite being heavy.
