It's simple really. Clouds block the sun just like anything else does: by not allowing the sun's light to pass through. Clouds actually reflect much of the sun's rays back out into space. However, this does not mean that all rays are reflected. This is why we can still see during the day on a cloudy day. Like a piece of white paper or thin curtain, there are still small holes or pores that light waves can travel through. Being that clouds are mainly water particles, light can still pass through, but most of it is refracted or reflected.

Other cloud types like stratus and altostratus can also obscure sunlight, depending on their thickness and coverage.

The grey smooth clouds that cover the whole sky and block out the sun are called nimbostratus clouds. These clouds typically bring overcast skies and steady precipitation. They are thick and uniform, often appearing as a continuous layer, which prevents sunlight from penetrating through. Nimbostratus clouds are associated with gloomy weather conditions.
Why are temperatures low in the namib deserts?
It is because there are clouds to block some sun rays during the day and there are trees that can block the strong winds.
