When we see clouds in the sky, they are of different shapes and types. They are filled with water, but have you ever wondered how much water can be in a cloud? Let us try to find the easy answer to this question today.
Clouds are actually a group of very small water droplets or fine ice crystals. When the water present on the earth turns into vapor due to the heat of the sun and rises up in the air, it gradually cools down after reaching the cold environment. On cooling, this vapor again turns into water droplets. These droplets gather around the dust particles present in the air and clouds are formed through this process.
Now the question arises how much water is there in a cloud. The answer to this may vary slightly, as it depends on the size of the cloud. A small cloud may contain a few grams of water, while a large cloud may contain thousands to millions of tons of water.
A medium-sized cloud may contain a few hundred tons of water, while very large and massive clouds contain thousands of tons of water. In particular, thunderstorm clouds, which we see during heavy rain and storms, can contain millions of tons of water. A giant thunderstorm cloud can contain up to two billion pounds of water, which is truly amazing.
But another amazing fact is how the cloud floats in the sky despite being so heavy. The reason for this is that the water droplets present in the cloud are very small and light. These droplets are so light in the air that they float easily. When these droplets join together and become bigger, their weight increases, and they are no longer able to float in the air. This is the reason why heavy droplets start falling on the earth in the form of rain. So the next time you see clouds in the sky, think about how much water they can contain and how despite being heavy, they cause light rain on our earth.
