One estimate of cumulus cloud density is given at as a density of about 0.5 gram per cubic meter. ... Doing the math: 1,000,000,000 x 0.5 = 500,000,000 grams of water droplets in our cloud. That is about 500,000 kilograms or 1.1 million pounds (about 551 tons).
How much does a cloud weight in kg?
As per research, an average cumulus cloud weighs an incredible 500,000 kg (or 1.1 million pounds!) - the equivalent weight of 100+ elephants - a lot more than you think right! Clouds may look so light and fluffy, but the fact is that they are actually quite heavy.

How do you measure a clouds weight?
...
Next, you can use the density of a cloud to find its mass:
- Density = Mass / Volume.
- 0.5 grams per cubic meter = x / 1,000,000,000 cubic meters.
- 500,000,000 grams = mass.
