Broken cloud cover is when the sky is partially covered by clouds, with gaps or breaks between the clouds allowing some sunlight to pass through. This type of cloud cover is often seen as scattered patches of clouds, rather than a continuous sheet covering the entire sky.
There are instruments called Ceilometers which can measure cloud height and cover, but they're not especially accurate for cover (they are quite good for cloud height, especially at night) as a cloud can sit over the instrument and give a false reading. Also, unless cloud passes over them they give a false negative. The best instrument for measuring cloud cover is a trained Mark I eyeball (or two)Read more: What_instrument_is_used_to_measure_clouds
The five terms used to describe cloudiness are clear (0-10% cloud cover), partly cloudy (11-50% cloud cover), mostly cloudy (51-90% cloud cover), cloudy (91-100% cloud cover), and overcast (complete 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
