    When a nuclear weapon explodes, on average, how long does the mushroom cloud last?

    Question #109651. Asked by sirfrank. (Oct 10 09 8:53 AM)

    		One source says:

    "The cloud attains its maximum height after about 10 minutes and is then said to be "stabilized." It continues to grow laterally, however, to produce the characteristic mushroom shape. The cloud may continue to be visible for about an hour or more before being dispersed by the winds into the surrounding atmosphere where it merges with natural clouds in the sky."
