How Much Does A Hurricane Weigh? | Krulwich Wonders | NPR 

"What do you see now?" "...Something..." XD

Vsauce anyone?

how much does a hurricane weigh? . . .'I DON'T KNOW AND I DON'T CARE' LMFAOOOO DEAD

I like that Blue Whales are now a unit.

Do you know how much a hurricane ways?!? "I DONT KNOW AND I DONT CARE" IM DYING 😂😂😂😂

Use kg. The whole world use kg.

Seriously use kg. The unit in SI for weigh is kg. Nothing wrong with lbs but use kgs as well.

How much does Sharknado weigh??

i really want "blue whale" to become a form of measurement

1:58 ... My reaction every time a teacher in a school attempts to teach something that I will never ever implement in my life... like... ever.

Would it be wrong to say someone weighs as much as a cloud?

1:58 "I don't know and I don't care!" :D

I just know these videos are gonna keep me up all night watching em

Wow, that is a poor explanation of why clouds "float". There is a "surface" at which a rising parcel of air will condense to form water droplets due to adiabatic cooling. This varies depending on relative humidity. If the parcel of air falls the droplets in it will evaporate at that same surface (adiabatic warming).

I just thought of a question and when I Googled it, it apparently hasn't been asked before. So here goes "What if a cloud solidified and fell to the earth?" What kind of damage could you expect?

216,000 lbs = 98,000 Kg 105.8 million lbs = 48 million Kg thank me later.

This video is so funny. Vsauce lean back brought me here

"What do you see?" "Nothing!" "Now what do you see?" "Uh, something!"

Nostalgia man

hahahaha this is really well narrated and dialogued. Thank you so much for the awesome video :)

Wait until you get to the episodes like Time, The Good Show, The Bad Show, Limits, Mortality and Morality. Man, I'm in love with this podcast.

sorry if i missed it or didnt understand but if it starts raining then the droplets obviously are falling so the hot air pushing up isnt stronger than the dropleta falling. so how do the storm clouds stay up?

Vsauce lead me here, and it's 2021

let me explain: Yes clouds weight more than people but u see every molecule of water is very very tiny. So in reality the hot air is only pushing individual molecules at the same time. If u were to squeeze the cloud u would get a lot of heavy water but because the molecules are spread apart from each other they dont really weight anything so the hot air can push them up. However, humans are solid and all our molecules are together so we end up being heavier than the cloud if u see it this way.

"I DONT KNOW AND I DONT CARE"

This video was very VERY entertaining

That was really informative. Thank you for posting this video.

HELLO VSAUCE VIEWERS!!!

"Now how much does a hurricane weigh?" "I DONT KNOW AND I DONT CARE!"

Hurricane obesity rates increase

You sir, Have just earned yourself a new subscriber!

Wtf is pounds? Use kg ffs

Clouds are made of water molecules, water molecules have weight, hurricanes are giant clouds, thus they have a significant weight. Kudos for calculating it. And I love the explanation of why clouds float.

Lol I don't know and I don't care AAHHH

"Ok now look under the cloud now what do you see?" -sees arrows pushing up- ".......something....?"

This was cuter than expected.

this dude is good at getting and keeping your attention

The comedic timing in this video is just priceless. So hilarious :D

wow this was very easy to understand and also entertaining. this will be great for kids!

2:01 Boy: *I DUNNO AND I DONT CARE* Narrator: *keeps explaining stuff* Boy: *ŪÆƏH*

i havent blinked in 2 minutes

I lol'd so hard throught this whole video

Why was that so adorable.

This is excellent. *whistles*

what an awesome video, thanks for posting!

This is reminding me of weathering with you for some reason

I think the air current only can hold the lighter parts of the cloud. Once the warm air current becomes too weak or the cloud becomes too heavy it set off a change reaction wear the rain water is allowed to condense and fall but as it rains the cloud is losing mass(ton of water per second) which makes it easier for the air to hold it up. But like i said condensation is a chain reaction so even after the cloud is lightened(both weight and in color) the rain continues to fall for some time after.

"What about those dark clouds?"... "The commininombulis" LOOL

No. Clouds take water from one place and drops it on another so water returns. I think I read somewhere that water can't be destroyed or disappear because if you heat it, it evaporates until it becomes water vapor until it condenses and eventually become liquid again

Oh man, recognised the animation and voice from Laid-Off straight away. It's been so many years since I saw that.

Narrator: "So,how much does the hurricane weight?" Boy: "I don't know and i don't care"

this was beautiful , and always thanks vsauce

I recognize that great animation -- Odd Todd! Hilarious stuff. I miss those old flash vids...

2:00 the quote that everyone is looking for

it isn't just about weight. it is about how much weight in the unit of space, or area. a rock weighs less than a boat, but the rock sinks, and the boat floats.

this is so funny i love it how the little kid is all like "I- I dont really care"

My dad would show me this all the time when I was younger and I was always so confused 😭

O.O That's actually an awesome question. I've never thought of something like that.

1:56 "How much does a hurricane weigh?" "I DUNNO AND I DON CARE!!!"

Great video!

what stops all the water coming down at once instead of droplets?

thank you for appreciating my humour, a lot won't

"what do you see now?" "something..."

This video reminds me of Home Movies. Which is a great thing.

Ok i have a question and anyone feel free to answer it, but what would happen if we had a huge parachute and parachuted into on of this clouds that are being held up by warm air? Would we stay floating in the air of continue falling down? Also would we get soaked from all the water in that cloud?

I like how the hurricane is making a beeline for Haiti

Narrator: What do you see? Kid: Something.......

what about the stuff they pick up additionaly to whater? like sand or what ever stands in the way?

lol "I don't know and I don't care" this made me laugh.

Odd Todd! I never knew this existed! Yes!

Same! Those animations are just so funny XD.

These dudes are so entertaining

the video does not have a 3:00 .. huh and how did they measure clouds ?

how come we dont get pushed up from warm air? is it because of surface area?

I love this kind off teaching

the better answer is that the cloud is less dense than the air below it, therefore it doesn't fall, just like you float on water. it's not about how much you weigh, it's about how dense you are compared to water

"so now what do you see?" "something"

This is a very funny and educational video

Narrator-"Look here, what do you see?" Guy-"Just...air..." Narrator-"OK but now what do you see?" Guy-"...something..."

Great video :)

i learned more here than i learn at school

Am I the only one who can't stop laughing at the end of this video?

Why are the storm clouds gray?

1:56 is my favorite part!

2:00 LOLOLLLLLLLL I DONT KNOW AND I DONT CARE LOOOOOOOOOOL I DIED

That kid xD This is why this video is awesome!

This helps more than school

they float cause the water is in such tiny bits... they rain when theyre saturated so water droplets start to touch together and form drops and it falls. but because they can't fall the cloud is technically weightless just like a balloon with just enough helium to prevent it falling. it weighs as much as air and is only as dense as air, therefore is weightless. if you took its mass and condensed it and put it in a pool it would weigh 216 thousand pounds etc.

I loved that animation

"Now what do you see?" "Something" hahaha

lol when the hurricane appeared the kid was like:" I DONT KNOW AND I DONT CARE!!! lol looked like he was about to shit himself

sir you just blew my mind away :D

This video is of course a bit simplified. Humid air is less dense than dry air, that is why humid air rises in the first place. If you don't believe me check out the ideal gas law. It takes about 2 water molecules in the gaseous form to buoy up one molecule of water in the liquid form. And the rising air under the clouds does not need to be warm, it could be humid too. When it cools water will come out of the gaseous form and that is why a typical cloud has a "ceiling" to it.

Because we're not spread out as the clouds are so the hot air has less surface to act on. Also since our feet are on the ground the air doesnt really get to us... Not the hot steamy upward going air at least.

Cumulonimbus clouds can get huge. There was once one that covered pretty much the whole of Yorkshire and I worked out that it weighed something like 250 gigatons (that's 2.5x10^17 grams)

''now what do you see?'' ''Something!"

Yes. One of those comulunombus clouds!

That was amazing! So shocked at how much a co co co ...... dark cloud weighs!

I need a Cloud Scale!

That is because unless the cliff is as high as a cloud, you don't have enough warm air to keep you aloft.
