How Much Does a Cloud Weigh?

Season 5 Episode 79 | 3m 26s

Imagine 300 midsize cars floating above your head--that’s how much your average fluffy cloud weighs. So why doesn’t it come crashing down on you? We explore the chemistry behind how a cloud stays lofted in the sky and how it got there in the first place.
