How many kilograms does an average white fair-weather cloud weigh?

About 500,000 kilograms

Background

A normal white cloud in the sky weighs around 500 tons, which is half a million kilograms. That is as heavy as 100 fully grown elephants. Still it floats in the sky because the tiny water droplets are carried by warm air. Nature is sometimes really astonishing.
