You're probably wondering why I measured that specific band of cloud in the first image. It functions as a low end on a couple levels. First being that this particular band of cloud is being lit up by the explosion. Due to this brightness being absent further out into the cloud, you can use this to at least infer the cloud thickness is at a minimum covered, if not further into the actual cloud. Additionally, as the mass of the cloud gets dispersed further and further away, the thickness will further bunch up.
Cloud Height = 70 pixels
Hole Radius = 685 pixels
Hole Radius/Cloud Height = 9.786
Cloud Height = 2,000 meters (source here. as you can see here, the clouds in the panning of the sky clearly are of a fairly dark gray per Nimbostratus in the first place)
Hole Radius = 19,572 meters
Cylinder Volume = PIr^2*H
r = Hole Radius
H = Cloud Thickness
Volume = 2,405,636,795,520 m^3
Density = 1.003 kg/m^3
Cloud Mass = 2,412,853,705,906.56 kilograms
Time Frame = 1.54 seconds (as seen here)
Expansion Speed = 12,709.091 m/s
KE = 0.5mv^2
Empire Magic Nuke Yield = 194,863,264,533,140,300,000 joules or 46.573 gigatons
I can do more, what with the Craters and thus letting me derive a durability through surface area distance and shit, but I'm unsure how to handle that as it's rather clear the battlefield's not to scale or represented similarly between game play and cinematic
