3000 lbs = 1360 kg, for people like me who are finding mental maths a little difficult at this time in the morning.
- Thaliana 3y agoAn easy way to convert lbs -> kg is divide by 2 and subtract 10%
- lewdev 3y ago3000lbs to KG Mental Math /2 = 1500 .1 = 150 = 1500 - 150 = 1350kg Google's result: 1360.777kg
- beAbU 3y agoJust divide by 2. No need for the 10% bit. 10% is small enough that it does not matter for these types of informal conversational scenarios, and in cases where it does, do a proper conversion.

- taneq 3y agoWow, clouds are heavy!
- defrost 3y agoSeems light, An average 1 km3 cloud has 500000 kg of water droplets. I reckon the tropical monsoon clouds I grew up with in the wet season were larger and held a whole more.
- HPsquared 3y agoCounterintuitively clouds are heavy, in a way, because they're so large. The Sun is another interesting (size * density) example. The Sun's "power per unit volume" is only about the same as a compost pile. But because it's so large, this is enough to keep it glowing brightly.
