Why don't clouds fall to the ground and crush buildings and kill people if they really are made of thousands or millions of pounds of water?

Clouds need to be condensed by cold air to form rains, and because the clouds are scattered over a vast area in the sky therefore the rain wouldn't form like a big waterfall rather in the form of droplets.

What makes freezing water vapor inside clouds?
Freezing water vapor inside clouds makes sleet when it falls to the ground. Freezing rain is rain that is liquid when it leaves the clouds but freezes when it hits the ground.
Is the process by which condensed water vapor falls from the clouds to the ground?
ewan
How do tornadoes come down to the ground?
Tornadoes come down to the ground by a lowering wall cloud. It is basically a wall of dark clouds descending. If the conditions are right, it can tighten up to become a tornado.
Why do water from puddles disappear after a few hours?
Heyy, Well the water gets evaporated into the clouds and stay in the clouds until they are filled with water so thats how it starts raining. Or the water sinks into the ground (depending on the type, if it's dirt or cement)
How does rain turn to hail in 100 degrees?
It doesn't. The temp near the ground may be 100, but high in the sky (in the clouds) its well below freezing.
What are clouds called that are close to the ground or on the ground?
the answer is fog..To be mo scientific its called Stratus clouds.
How many miles are stratus clouds from the ground?
I'm pretty sure that it is about 6 miles from the ground to the clouds
Are stratus clouds or cirrus clouds closer to the ground?
yes
How do ground level clouds form?
The moisture in the ground combines with the the air to make water vapor, therefore creating clouds at ground level.
How do clouds hold water when there is rain?
Clouds are made of condensed water vapor droplets. When the droplets merge with increasing condensation, they get heavier and gravity drops them to the ground in the form of rain. The clouds are loaded with moisture and produce millions of gallons of water, so they do not run out of water very quickly when it continues to rain
Are stratus clouds or cirrus clouds found closer to the ground?
yes
A patch of ground in direct sunlight will have what a patch of ground shaded by clouds?
A lower air pressure than a patch of ground shaded by clouds :)
Are stratus clouds low clouds?
Yes. Aside from fog (which is at ground level) stratus clouds are the lowest-lying of all clouds.
Is frost clouds near the ground?
No.
Clouds on the ground?
Fog or mist.
Is there more air pressure high above the clouds or the clouds or on the ground?
in the air
