A cloud is measured using the system called oktas (or otherwise known as eighths of the sky). Firstly, meteoroligists randomly select a portion of the sky and divide it into eights. They then rate the cloud cover using a number sysem. 0 being cloudless and 8 being total cloud cover.
Cloud cover is measured in Oktas. (from the greek/Latin Octo - 8)
Its an estimate of how much of the sky is covered by cloud.
A clear sky is 0 Oktas, A summers day sky with fluffy clouds but lots of sky could be 1-3 oktas; An overcast sky with bits of blue showing 7 Oktas, and full overcast 8 Oktas.
I don't know of anyone who measures clouds. What parameter do you want to measure?
to measure clouds you use an acumioucloud meter
not sure but i think with a wind dial

Cloud cover is usually given as a percentage, there is no unit of measure.
No, it only can measure weight.
There is no scale!!

I just read that you can weigh anything on it.
An Okta is a unit of measure to measure cloud cover. Cloud cover is how much cloud there is in the sky. A bit like a centimetre, the bigger the number of Oktas the more cloud there is, the more centimetres, the longer the object being measured.

ceilometers measure cloud heights.
