Best Answer

Yes, they are white.

Answer:

A studious observer of clouds will have seen white and grey to almost black clouds in the sky depending on weather and at sunset or sunrise will have seen many other colours.

A cloud is however made up of clear droplets of water which are colourless. The reflected and refracted light gives them the appearance of being white in full daylight, dark when they block the light, bluish when they reflect the sky colour and different spectral colour when lit by sun rise and sun st light.

The sky is all different colors in all different heights.

The rays from the sun make different colors throughout the whole sky.

We usually see "blue" because that's the closest color to us.

The color a cloud appears to the human eye has a lot to do with the angle that you are viewing the cloud. Tall, thick clouds that are directly overhead will appear dark gray. Sunlight shines through the top of the clouds and the thicker the cloud, the more sun is blocked. Thin clouds will appear whiter. As dark clouds pass, the trailing edges may appear white.

The sky is blue due to the end-of-the-spectrum light that passes through the ozone layer. The smaller the frequency, the easier it is for the beams to pass through the O3 without being deflected. Thus, the blue end of the spectrum reaches through the ozone to give the sky a blue color. When it is snowing, the snow is falling from clouds. The white that appears in the sky is the clouds, so the answer is no. The sky is not white when it snows.
