If you were a fan of Care Bears as a kid, you couldn’t help but fall in love with clouds. I’ve imagined what it must feel like to fall into a bed of clouds — warm, fluffy, and snuggly.

But science says, hold up, dreamer! Lol

Yes, those seemingly fluffy beasts up there aren’t anywhere near feathery. It’s a million pounds of water heavy, which is about the weight of 100 elephants!

How do I walk so casually beneath a sky of elephants?
These clouds stay afloat due to all the droplets getting spread over a massive area but we don’t see it that way because it’s way up in the sky.

It kind of changes the way I feel about raindrops.
