Why some clouds darker than others?
Some clouds are darker because of the lack of sunlight. Some clouds are blocking the other clouds and it forms a shadow and that the cloud won't get sunlight. Also that if the cloud is darker, because it is pollution. Pollution is like an evil dye that no one likes because it also has a lot of chemicals in it. That is why NEVER DRINK RAIN WATER! The darker clouds have water (rain) in them, where as the white ones are just empty.
How clouds usually form rain?
Condensation. That is how. Water evaporates, forms into clouds, and when they get too full of water, it falls back down as rain. White clouds never rain. Gray clouds will sometimes rain. The darker the cloud is, the more likely they will rain. The grayest/ darkest ones will undoubtedly also storm.

What is the name used to describe the dark bands encircling Jupiter?

Why are some nights darker than others?
The answer depends on where you live and how much light pollution there is. In areas with few artificial lights (street lights, house lights) then if the moon's not visible then it will be dark, if the moon AND the stars arent visible (like due to clouds) then it will be darker, still. In cities, clouds usually reflect the light from street lights back down to the earth so depending on how much your city/town is lit up, it might actually be brighter on a cloudy night!

Why do you see horizontal stripes in photographs of jupiter and saturn?
The light stripes are regions of high clouds, and the dark stripes are regions where we can see down to deeper, darker clouds.
What clouds are larger and darker on the bottom and produce thunderstorms?
Clouds that are dark on the bottom are likely cumulonimbus clouds. That word comes from cumulus and nimbus. Cumulus means light, or fluffy. They're the kind of clouds you look for shapes in. Nimbus means rain. So, fluffy rain clouds is a rough translation. Cumulonimbus clouds bring rain, and possibly a tornado if you live in that area. It might be a heavy rain or a harsh thunderstorm. Just get inside as fast as you can!

Why do clouds turn black?
Clouds turn grey as the water density increases. As the density increases less light can filter through so they begin to look darker. The darker a cloud is, the better the chances are that it will begin to rain. Large storms and hurricanes are dark grey and sometimes almost black in color for the very same reason.
