How big are clouds? Like, how much geographical space could they cover? A town? A city?
In: Physics
Fog is a cloud. From what I’ve seen on weather satellite images sometimes a fog bank can span an area larger than Texas. According to [this article, the author’s approximation](https://www.times-news.com/archives/how-far-away-and-how-big-are-clouds/article_cea79e25-4892-5383-a921-f791e3fa140f.html) puts your typical cumulus cloud at “0.25 miles from top to bottom and 0.25 miles wide.” About as wide and tall as the length of a city block. Other cloud types can range anywhere between the size of a cumulus cloud to the size of a fog bank.
