It desnt weigh any thing. it is floating.
It is evaporated water that condences around dust particles in the air and then forms a cloud

"How much does the water in a cumulus cloud weigh? "The water in the little cloud weighs about 550 tons" ... "Or if you want to convert it to something that might be a little more meaningful … think of elephants." Assume an elephant weighs about six tons, she says, that would mean that water inside a typical cumulous cloud would weigh about one hundred elephants. but the water isn't in elephant sized particles, it's in tiny tiny tiny particles," according to the website below
What is a cloud? "A cloud is a visible mass of condensed droplets or frozen crystals suspended in the atmosphere above the surface of the Earth or another planetary body."

Clouds are not composed of water vapour. Water vapour is the gaseous form of water just as ice is the solid form. Water vapour is as visible in the air as oxygen and nitrogen are. When water vapour cools, it condenses into minute water droplets. These can, with further cooling, become ice crystals. Clouds are composed of billions of these minute water droplets and ice crystals.
In the right circumstances, the water droplets grow by coalescing with each other and, when they become too heavy to be supported by the rising air, fall out of the cloud as rain. If the conditions are right, hail or snow can fall.

cloud is a condenzed water vapour. its weight would be slightly above the 1 kg per cubic meter. the cloud cannot fall gfrom the sky, and its weight is merely made by air pressure than the weight of the water.
cloud cant weight "zero" since this is value reserved for vacuum. cloud weights the same like air. air weights approx 1 kg per cubic meter :))))

A cloud is vaporised water, therefore it depends on the size of the cloud to find out how much weigh.

It's a white thing in the sky that looks like a cotton ball. It weighs depending on how large or small it is.

A cloud is condensed water vapour, just like steam

Fluffy thing in the sky and all depends on how big the cloud and how much rain its holding

A cloud is gas, made by water vapor that evaporated into the air, and it is like fog, it weighs nothing because you can't hold it.

it doesn't weigh anything because cloud is water vapour. it all part of the water cycle
