☁️ A Single Cloud Can Weigh More Than a Million Pounds
Yes — that soft white cotton in the sky is HEAVY.
🌧 How It Works:
Clouds are made of condensed water droplets. 1 cubic meter of cloud = 0.5g water.
🧠 Now Do the Math:
Average cumulus cloud:
– Volume: ~1,000,000,000 m³
– That’s 500,000,000 grams = 1.1 million pounds
💡 But Why Don’t They Fall?
Cloud droplets are:
– Extremely small
– Suspended by warm air updrafts
– Constantly evaporating and reforming
🧪 NASA Confirms:
Even medium clouds = 1.1 to 2.2 million pounds of water vapor
🚨 Storm Clouds = Heavier
– Thunderheads weigh up to 40 million pounds
– Enough to flood entire towns in one go
🌎 Fun Facts:
– Antarctica has clouds made of crystals
– Venus has sulfuric acid clouds
– Jupiter’s clouds are made of ammonia!
