How do different types of clouds form, and what do they tell us about the weather?
Describe the process by which clouds form.
How much does a cloud weigh? Usgs.gov says that the average cumulus cloud (the big fluffy white ones) weighs 500,000 kilograms. Convert that number to pounds. Then put that value into a perspective you can visualize, such as comparing it to other objects you are familiar with. Show all your math. Do not just look up the value.
