Clouds Facts


  • Clouds can reflect so much ultraviolet light from the sunlight they dramatically increase the ultraviolet reaching the ground.
  • Sunbathing on sunny days with clouds in the sky can be dangerous.
  • The biggest clouds are cumulonimbus, climbing up to 9.7 kilometers (6 miles) high and holding up to half a million tons of water.
  • Cloud droplets are extremely small. They are about ten thousandth of an inch across, a thousand times smaller than a raindrop.
