You can see light from the sun through clouds because clouds are made up of tiny water droplets or ice crystals that scatter sunlight. This scattering allows some of the light to pass through, creating a diffused glow. Additionally, thinner clouds or breaks in the cloud cover allow more direct sunlight to shine through, illuminating the area beneath. Thus, even when the sky is overcast, sunlight can still penetrate the cloud layer to some extent.

How do the clouds block the sun?

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.

Yes, it is possible to see the sun rise on a cloudy day. The sun rises above the horizon regardless of cloud cover, but the clouds may obscure the view of the sun itself.

What causes the ring around the sun or moon?

The ring around the sun or moon, known as a halo, is caused by the refraction of light through ice crystals in the atmosphere. These ice crystals in high clouds bend the light and create the optical effect that we see as a ring.


What happens when the sun goes through clouds and creats a rainbow?

That doesn't happen. The sun can't create a rainbow when it's in clouds. In order for you to see a rainbow, the sun has to be behind you in clear sky, and there has to be rain or drizzle in front of you.
