Up So High
I am extremely heavy,
yet I fly through the air.
Not many people understand
how I stay up there.
Almost everyone sees me,
as overhead I fly by.
Not seen on the ground,
found only in the sky.

Hint
I am not a plane.Answer
A cloudClouds are made up of billions of droplets or frozen crystals, usually 0.01mm in diameter. When massed in these billions, they become visible as clouds. They are also very reflective, 70-95%, which is why they appear white, at least on top. They scatter light very well, which is why from underneath, clouds tend to appear grey or black. A water droplet weighs very little, but when you count the billions that cling together, a small cumulus cloud can weigh upwards of 550 tons.

Yay! First comment!
Excellent riddle- but I found it very easy
But what about fog? That's low flying cloud... and can be found near to the ground- if you count 'ground' as a solid surface..
Sorry, I'm being awkward...
Very fun!

Good thought, however, fog, though low does not actually wind up on the ground either. It's just does not fit the high up part and thus is not really a cloud. Glad you liked it.
Haha, I was like, "This so easy, it's obviously a plane," then I clicked the hint (because I'm OCD-ish like that), and it clearly said it wasn't a plane.
Very good, I'm rating as well

Hmm... I thought moon - which you could say flies, seeing as it's not geo-stationary.
Couldn't this also be a star as well?
At first I thought it was a plane then i saw the hint so I thought it was a shooting star...woops
Me and my grandma guessed either a cloud full of rain, or a meteor. We practically got it right! Yay!
How do you make your own???????????????????????
It could only be a Cloud.
Good Teaser.
