The amount of radiation absorbed per 100 units by water vapor and clouds can vary depending on factors like the amount of water vapor present, cloud density, and the type of radiation (e.g. solar or terrestrial). On average, water vapor absorbs a significant portion of solar radiation and emits it back into the atmosphere. Clouds can further enhance this absorption and scattering of radiation, leading to a net increase in energy absorption compared to clear skies.

How much of the sun's energy is absorbed or reflected by clouds?
Yes, about 26% of incoming solar radiation is reflected back into space by the clouds and atmosphere.Incoming solar radiation: 100%Reflected by the atmosphere: 6% : Absorbed by the atmosphere: 16%Continuing incoming solar radiation: 78%Reflected by clouds: 20% : Absorbed by clouds: 3%Continuing incoming solar radiation: 55%Reflected by the earth's surface: 4% : Absorbed by the earth's surface (lands and oceans): 51%
How do water vapor move?
it moves throu the clouds.
What is the cause of condensation of water vapor?
Clouds Dew
What makes freezing water vapor inside clouds?
Freezing water vapor inside clouds makes sleet when it falls to the ground. Freezing rain is rain that is liquid when it leaves the clouds but freezes when it hits the ground.
Is the process by which condensed water vapor falls from the clouds to the ground?

When water evaporates the heat is absorbed by the vapor?
The water vapor condenses as it cools, and forms clouds. It later returns to the Earth as precipitation.
How does water converts into clouds and clouds into rain?
Water evaporates into water vapor which condenses in the atmosphere to form clouds, when there is sufficient condensation within the clouds the water vapor start to combine into larger units until they are massive enough to fall to the ground as rain.
What is the difference between clouds and water vapor?
water vapor has no water in it but clouds do
Which clouds are made of water vapor?
All clouds are made of water vapor.
Is water vapor found in clouds?
yes clouds do consist of water vapor!
When clouds are forming what does the water vapor attach to?
Clouds ARE water vapor. That is what they are made of.
How are storms clouds and water vapor all connected?
All clouds are condensing water vapor.
What radiation is absorbed by global warming?
Infra Red Light: Global warming is associated with Infra-Red rays that the earth emits to the atmosphere, where it is absorbed by the greenhouse gases of Carbon Dioxide and water vapor.
What is clouds and water vapor from the water cycle?
The process of which water is stored in the atmosphere as vapor, such as clouds & humidity.
Are clouds made up of vapor or droplets?
Clouds are made of vapor, but when the vapor gets too dense, droplets form, fall, and become rain.
