I Didn't Realize Clouds Were So Heavy

I was reading an article, just glimpsed at it really, today on Bing, which might have been yesterday's news because I forgot to check Bing yesterday, but anyway, it said the average cloud weighs 1 million pounds. Isn't that amazing? I mean, I know they're made of water and everything, and water is heavy, but I guess they just look so fluffy and light that I didn't think of them as heavy. Had you ever thought about clouds and their weight before?

I knew they were heavy from remembering what I learned in school, but I had no clue one million pounds entered the picture. God is pretty darn cool.

No, I never would have guessed that. Storm clouds seem like they could be heavy though

I know they had to weigh something, being composed of water, but am surprised by just how much
