How does it stay floating the skies

They are water droplets, .... so weigh something, .....

This is the accepted mathmatics to calculate density and weight .....

 

 

"They may look light and fluffy, but those big white things floating overhead are pretty hefty. A typical cloud has a volume of around 1km3 and a density of around 1.003kg per m3 – about 0.4 per cent lower than that of the surrounding air, which is why they float. So cranking through the maths, that means that a typical cloud weighs around a million tonnes".

 

A MILLION TONNES ! ! !
