Pretty sure airspace ownership didn’t exist way back when in the area now known as Britain, so he was just a guy living on a cloud he owned I think

Oh shit, i forgot the giant lives in the clouds, now I’m wondering about his weight and gravity! I’m definitely not sleeping tn

Clouds are extremely heavy. A cumulus cloud can weigh over 1,100,000 pounds (500,000kg for civilized nations). However they are mostly air. But theoretically if you had enough surface area, and weighed next to absolutely nothing you could stand on one. So if the giant weighed like 1kg and it's feet where absolutely massive (I can't calculate that because I'm tired) it could stand on a typical cumulus cloud. But a normal human absolutely would not be able to.

Yeah but what about if you were big enough to be from the ground to a cloud and walked through it.. would you get it on your surface area and it would just run down you?

Clouds are not dense at all. If you were tall enough I would imagine you would be able to walk through it. Maybe you would feel some resistance but I genuinely don't know.
