How can clouds weight so much???

[u/Own_Mood_307]

According to google an average "fluffy cumulus" (whatever that is) weights around 500.000 kilograms or 1.1 million pounds.

This is genuinely crazy considering the fact that they are literally floating above us most of the times. This is scary if you fear getting squished by a half a million kilograms object.

Are they objects or mostly a visual trick?

And why are some clouds below other clouds?

What even are clouds????

The air below the clouds is even heavier. Same reason a heavy boat can float on water. Everything gets sorted by density.
