I did not say that. It was from:

I said:
I, however, do not agree, not completely anyway.
.
Their argument falls apart when it comes to snow - how can snow, which is lighter and has a much larger surface than water droplets or ice crystals, fall by gravity?
.
The answer is in the temperature of the air around the cloud. Or, rather, the relative temperature. This kind of cloud exists only in rather hot weather and a large temperature differential between the ground level and the air temperature in the clouds (perhaps due to the jet stream or upper atmosphere air currents).
I copied and pasted from your reply.
Either way it's wrong.
But...in the spirit of the post consider this.
E=MC2.
That means mass is very concentrated energy.
Water Ice floats...that means it's not as dense as water.
When energy (heat) is added to ice it's density increases when it melts...
When energy (heat) is added to water it...it becomes water vapor (steam)
Steam is LESS dense than water and air and it...
Er...wait a minute...what's going on here?

And I disagreed with the entire quoted "explanation". Disagree or wrong - isn't that the same?
my point was:
for these clouds to be present, there must be a complex system of flow and thermal processes changing moisture in the hot rising air to condensate and to ice crystals and circulate and melt into water droplets and then to steam.
Why do I say that?
Do you cook? In some cooking processes, you could see similar flows and heating and cooling processes that create shapes like that.
In any case, the heating and cooling processes in these clouds are turbulent and high energy processes and thunderstorm often result from these processes.
The water and ice particles in the clouds we see are simply too small to feel the effects of gravity
I just noticed where this was published.
Oddly enough LIGHT is effected by gravity.
(gravitational lensing)
Poor old 'Scientific American'...it's not like what it used to be.
