Why is there more cloud cover at the north pole and south pole?

Clouds mean rain and no sun. For when there are clouds the south & north pole stay cool because there's no sun, when the north & south pole do get sun its at such a minimum level that the ice there doesn't defrost. if the north & south pole do get too much sun exposure this could mean that the ice would melt creating the ocean to overflow and death of many species including the human species...

∙ 8y agoThe South Pole sits on Antarctica, a continent covered -- 98% of it -- with an ice sheet. The ice sheet stores about 90% of the Earth's store of ice.
You'll find the North Pole on frozen sea water floating in the Arctic Ocean.
The continent and the ice sheet contribute to the southern polar region being about 30 degrees F colder than the northern polar region.
