How do you record cloud cover?

Meteorologists measure the amount of cloud cover in the sky using a unit of measurement called an "okta." Basically, one okta is one eighth of the sky that is covered in cloud. The severity of cloud cover ranges from zero oktas to eight, with zero being a completely clear sky and eight oktas being complete cloud cover. It can be fun to observe how the cloud cover will differ from day to day and even from hour to hour. What do you think is responsible for these changes

What causes the tornado funnel cloud to black and dark?

The funnel cloud of a tornado is full of water droplets just like an ordinary cloud. As a result it blocks light and may appear dark. A tornado may also appear dark if it is lifting large amounts of dark soil into the air. However, not all tornadoes are dark in color. Front-lit tornadoes may appear light gray or even white. Depending on the soil some tornadoes may be light tan, to reddish brown, to gray in color.
