How many tons does an average thunderstorm cloud weigh?
Around 500,000
Background
A big thunderstorm cloud weighs around 500,000 tons of water. That is about as much as 80,000 elephants together. Yet it simply floats in the sky because the droplets are so tiny. Only when they grow too big does it all fall down as rain.
