Why do clouds cover the sun?
Clouds cover the sun when they are formed by water vapor condensing and turning into liquid droplets or ice crystals. These droplets and crystals scatter sunlight, making it appear as if the sun is covered.
Is nights dark because thick clouds cover the sun?
Not necessarily. The night is dark, because the sun sets. The sun literally passes to the other side of the planet. (More correctly, the Earth rotates, causing the perceived position of the Sun to go to the other side.) Also, thick clouds can block starlight and moonlight from reaching the Earth, with the effect that they can cause the night to appear dark.
What effect does cloud cover have on the earths temperater?
During the day, clouds can absorb heat energy from the sun. This causes a warming effect on the Earth. At night, cloud cover will keep the heat within the Earth's atmosphere, which also has a warming effect. This is because hot air rises, it is trapped by the clouds and therefore the temperature remains moderately warm. This is why in deserts (where there isn't much cloud cover) it is baking hot in the day, but freezing at night.
Are the bases of convective clouds generally higher during the day or the night?
The bases of convective clouds are generally higher during the day due to heating from the sun causing warm air near the surface to rise. At night, without the heating effect of the sun, the bases of convective clouds tend to be lower as the atmosphere cools and stabilizes.
How does cloud cover influence the minimum temperature on an overcast day'. How is the nighttime minimum influenced by clouds?
During daylight hours, clouds reflect solar radiation back to space. Therefore, the maximum temperature is lower than if the sky were clear. At night, the minimum temperature will not fall as low because clouds retard the loss of heat.

What stage of the water cycle affects the sun?
Precipitation affects the sun. Clouds cover the sun.
A student thinks that the sun is hidden behind the clouds at night why is this unlikely?

Is night dark becauce thick clouds cover the sun?
No, the simple answer is that the Earth turns so that it is not facing the sun, due to the fact the Earth blocks out the light. If you want a more detailed answer on this, look up Olber's Paradox.
How do you discover cloud cover?
if you dont see the sun during the day, You will know there are clouds.

How do weather condition at night different from the condition during the day?
because in the night more clouds form and block the sun in the day there are not many clouds to block the suns rays
