Video - Cloud Mysteries: Heavyweights, Ice, and Traveling Chameleons

1. **Cloud Heavyweights:** Those fluffy clouds you see can be surprisingly heavy! An average cumulus cloud can weigh hundreds of tons, about the same as a jumbo jet. 2. **Ice or Water?** Not all clouds are made of water droplets. High-altitude cirrus clouds are actually wispy formations of tiny ice crystals. 3. **Color Chameleon:** Clouds appear white because they scatter all the colors of sunlight nearly equally. But at sunrise or sunset, they can take on fiery hues as light passes through them at different angles. 4. **World Travelers:** Clouds are constantly on the move, carried by winds across vast distances. The cirrus clouds you see today might have been over a different continent just a few days ago!
