Scientists measured the cloud’s weight. The white cloud in a good day is 1/2 or 0.05 gram per cubic meter. According to the research, the scientist says that average cumulus cloud is 1.1 million pounds. That’s mean Approximately 100 elephant weight equal a cumulus could. It is a combination of several million water droplets.
