Do clouds slow the rate at which the Earth loses heat?

Clouds in our atmosphere has many functions which includes slowing the rate of heat loss. Regarding the question at hand, clouds slow down the rate of heat loss by absorbing heat emitted from the surface and re-radiating it back down to the surface. Cloud's basic role in climatology is to modulate Earth's basic radiation balance and to produce precipitation.
