Clouds can cool down the Earth by reflecting incoming sunlight back into space, which reduces the amount of solar radiation reaching the Earth's surface. They also increase the Earth's albedo, which is its ability to reflect sunlight. Additionally, clouds can trap heat radiated from the Earth's surface, but their overall cooling effect usually outweighs this warming effect.

How do clouds heat and cool the earth?

The clouds play a role similar to the ozone layer. Ultra violet radiation coming from the sun strikes the clouds and the ozone layer and is repelled back into space allowing only "safe" light waves to hit the Earth. The ground absorbs heat, and then releases it. The rising heat reaches the clouds and is reflected back down to the Earth.


Put these events in order Gas rose into the sky Earth's surface began to cool Rivers and lakes formed on Earth Rain fell Clouds formed?

From what is listed here, the order is as follows. Gas rose into the sky. Clouds formed. Rain fell. Earth's surface began to cool. Rivers and lakes formed on Earth.


Who first described the water cycle?

Water is evaporated from the earth due to radiation and heat of sun. These are then condensed and cool down in the form of water droplets. When it become very heavy in form of clouds, it showers down to earth. This cycle is called water cycle.


What does it mean ''you are most down to earth person i have talk to''?

"Down to Earth" means realistic, practical, everyday. It is the opposite of "head in the clouds."


What is it called when water falls from the clouds down to earth's surface?

It is called precipitation.


Is the phrase down to heart or down to earth?

It would be "down to earth" because the other doesn't mean anything in English. "Down to earth" means someone who is sensible and logical instead of being a dreamer with his "head in the clouds."


Why does gravity keep us down on the ground and not up in the clouds?

It is pulling us toward the center of the earth. We are lucky we live on Earth and no some planet with a weak gravity where we can fly in the clouds.


How can clouds help keep the earth cooler?

Clouds can help keep the Earth cooler by reflecting incoming sunlight back into space. This is known as the albedo effect. Clouds also absorb and emit thermal radiation from the Earth, which helps to cool the planet. Additionally, clouds can reduce the amount of surface heating by shading the Earth's surface and reducing evaporation, which helps to maintain cooler temperatures.


Why does the earth cool off more quickly when the sky its clear than when its cloudy?

When the sky is clear, heat from the Earth's surface radiates directly into space, leading to faster cooling. Clouds act as a barrier, trapping heat and reflecting it back towards Earth, which slows down the cooling process.


Where is the evaporation process used?

Everybody does. Our sweat evaporates and helps to cool us down. Moreover, evaporation brings the water back up into the air to the clouds over time. Then the clouds drop it all over the place, spreading the moisture evenly. If there were no evaporation we wouldn't have much life on Earth.


What will be the result when clouds cover the earth?

There will be no earth there will only clouds
