Technically they can be as most of their volume is gaseous. However you compress a cloud it will warm adiabatically, and with enough heating from compression the cloud will evaporate.

Clouds are made up of tiny water droplets or ice crystals that are dispersed in the atmosphere and held in suspension by air currents. They cannot be physically compressed like a solid or liquid because they are already in a gaseous state.
Compressed energy refers to energy that is stored in a compressed form, such as in compressed air tanks or compressed natural gas tanks. This energy can be released and harnessed for various purposes, such as powering vehicles or machinery.
The spring is compressed by 5 centimeters.
A compressed air dryer is used to remove moisture from compressed air to prevent corrosion, damage to equipment, and contamination of processes. By reducing the moisture content in the compressed air, the dryer helps ensure the efficiency and reliability of pneumatic systems.
No, compressed air does not sink more than non-compressed air. In general, air behaves as a fluid, so its behavior is primarily governed by factors like temperature and pressure. Compressed air will tend to disperse and rise in a less dense environment, while non-compressed air will behave similarly.
Yes, a balloon can be compressed by applying pressure to reduce its volume. However, the material of the balloon will have limits to how much it can be compressed before it bursts or is damaged.
