happythoughts 0 #1 October 15, 2008 I work on the 10th floor. We watch clouds all day. I did a little research and found a good estimate for the amount of water in a general size cloud and its weight. Quote We can model the cloud as a sphere of, say, 1 kilometer radius. This gives a volume of about 4 billion cubic meters. Then if we use 1 gram per cubic meter as a "representative" water content, we get an estimate for the mass of the cloud of 4 billion grams, or 4 million kilograms. Anyway, I just think it is cool that they float around. It's like f-in magic to see something that big just stroll by. Some days, they are all cruising by in the same direction at, say... 50 mph. Where are they all going? Ahhh... west.... heading for the beach... beautiful day to go to the beach. Something that weights 4 million kg is floating past. Under-appreciated magic.

Exactly. Something that weighs as much as my house and it is just floating by. If I could get my house to do that, vacations would be a lot easier. I could just take my stuff along.
