Is it possible to walk on a cloud?
No. Clouds are just fog at higher altitude: micronic water droplet in a lot of air (or sometime micronic ice crystal in a lot of air).
Can humans stand on clouds?
Nope. You can’t sit on a cloud, because there’s really nothing there. What you think of as a cloud is basically just air. It looks the way it looks because there are many, many, many tiny droplets of water suspended in the air, which refract the light and make them look white (or gray, depending on conditions).
What happens when you walk through a cloud?
No. Simply because the droplets of the clouds have a very low mass. But if it is a raining cloud where large enough droplets are formed, yes, you will get wet. This is very simple: as an aircraft, car or ship moves, it takes with it a thin layer of the fluid it moves in.

Can you put a cloud in a jar?
Fill about 1/3 of your jar with the hot water. Quickly remove the lid, spray some into the jar, and quickly put the lid back on. You should see a cloud forming. Watch what’s happening inside the jar, the air is condensing, creating a cloud.
Can u eat clouds?
If you can eat enough, you won’t be thirsty. They’re water vapor, and it should be nicely chilled, since vapor forms as evaporated water condenses at low (but not freezing) temperatures. If you go higher in the atmosphere, the wispy clouds are ice crystals. Those will be more like tiny snowflakes.
Does falling through a cloud hurt?
Originally Answered: What does it feel like to fall through a cloud? – A storm cloud can contain hail: meeting hail gace-forward whikle going at over 100 MPH is painful. Even rain drops will hurt you at such speeds.
Do clouds smell?
The fact that the clouds don’t smell like anything and the rain does is a chemical matter. If it rains more often, we will not perceive the smell as intense or as often. What’s more, if the ground is still wet from the last rains, it won’t even smell.
Are clouds frozen water?
While it’s true that clouds contain water, they actually aren’t made of water vapor. If they were, you wouldn’t be able to see them. The water that makes up clouds is in liquid or ice form. It’s only when that water vapor cools and condenses into liquid water droplets or solid ice crystals that visible clouds form.
What would happen if Earth had no clouds?
No clouds means no rain, ice, or snow. That means drinking-water supplies wouldn’t get replenished. Water shortages also spell trouble for power plants that rely on heating fresh water. Without clouds to reflect light from the sun, global temperatures would spike.
Can a cloud touch the ground?
Some clouds are high up in the sky. Low clouds form closer to Earth’s surface. In fact, low clouds can even touch the ground. These clouds are called fog.
