what is the mass of a cloud? (lemmy.ca)

As the title asks, what is the average mass of each kind of cloud? Ignoring things like overcast days, and only considering clouds large enough to identify. Or maybe rather than "average" it'd be better to say "what is the mass of an archiypical cloud of each type?" Eg an archiypical cumulus, cirrus, cumulonimbus, etc.

Oh shit good question. I'm gonna say no because I was really trying to ask about how much ice/water/dust is involved, but I'm also curious about the air.
