The most plausible origin of the phrase would be the actual relation to the cumulonimbus cloud. The origin might not be known but the phrase has been used since the 1950s. Thus, being on top of it would mean that you are in a sense “ on top of the world.” It is the highest reaching cloud and rises up to 10km into the sky. The cumulonimbus cloud was assigned the number 9. In the 1896 edition of the International Cloud Atlas, clouds were assigned numerical orders. However, there is little evidence to support this.
