The sulfur cloud that comes out after a volcanic eruption covers the earth's atmosphere, stops much sunlight from reaching Earth, and makes the Earth colder by 2 to 3 degrees Celsius.

Three factors that affect the violence of a volcanic eruption are the composition of the magma (viscosity and gas content), the location of the eruption (proximity to populated areas), and the type of volcano (shield, cinder cone, stratovolcano).

Pressure and magma
A volcanic eruption can quickly release large amounts of gas and solid materials directly into the stratosphere, leading to the formation of volcanic ash clouds and sulfur aerosols. This can affect climate by blocking sunlight and influencing atmospheric circulation patterns.

No. While volcanic eruptions can affect weather, they are considered geologic events.
No. While some very large volcanic eruptions can affect the weather, the euption itself is a geologic event.
A volcanic eruption here on Earth can not affect the Sun. However, a volcanic eruption here on Earth can put particles of ash and some volcanic gases into the atmosphere that affects the transparency of Earth's atmosphere to sunlight. With the ash content the skies near the volcano go dark during the day and with the gases (especially sulfur oxides) the amount of cloud cover increases causing sunlight to be reflected and the air to cool.
Volcanic eruptions are not directly related to weather or climate. They occur due to activity beneath the Earth's surface, such as pressure in magma chambers or tectonic movements, rather than changes in atmospheric conditions. However, volcanic eruptions can impact climate by releasing ash and gases into the atmosphere that can affect temperatures and weather patterns.
Yes, depending upon the magnitude (severity) of the eruption. Large clouds of ash can be blown across the globe, reducing visibility and restricting air travel. Seismic activity from a volcanic eruption can also trigger tsunami waves that can have devastating impacts far away from the original site of the volcanic eruption.
The temperature of a volcanic plume can vary widely depending on several factors, including the type of eruption and the materials being emitted. Generally, the gases and ash in a volcanic plume can reach temperatures between 200°C to 1,000°C (around 400°F to 1,800°F). In some cases, particularly explosive eruptions, the hottest parts of the plume can exceed these temperatures. The heat can also affect the surrounding environment, leading to pyroclastic flows and other volcanic hazards.
