The weight of a cloud

Do you know how much the average cloud weighs? I had no idea, and had never even thought about it, until the fun trivia event on Saturday. It was fascinating to learn that clouds are much heavier than I thought, and this led to fun discussions with my suitemates and family about how this figure must have been measured. I love wondering about the natural world and it is handy to know fun facts as well. Trivia is so fun, as it inspires the same curiosity and love of learning that has brought us all to Cornell. I love learning new things and it is so fun to do so with others who share the same curiosity!

  1. I have also heard that clouds are pretty heavy. This is something that also surprised me because they are things that are constantly floating above us. Imagine if they had the capacity to crush us at any moment. But I also think that that’s what’s fascinating about nature, it is sometimes beyond our comprehension.
