Les nuages cotonneux de notre enfance sont en réalité très lourds. Un cumulus moyen pèse autant qu’un Boeing 747. Pourtant, ils flottent grâce à l’air humide qu’ils contiennent, plus léger que l’air sec en dessous.

The fluffy clouds we pictured as kids are very heavy. A typical cumulus cloud can weigh as much as a fully loaded Boeing 747. They float because the moist air inside is lighter than the dry air below, helping them stay suspended in the sky.
