Some clouds are darker because they are rain clouds. After the air condenses to its dew point, the water vapor that is no longer needed will form a liquid form of water, which in this case would be a cloud. The cloud would be full of water. When it can no longer hold the water, it starts to rain.
The cloud is white when the sun shines on it. It becomes dark when the sky is dark, and then the thunder and rain comes.

What causes the appearance of dark blue clouds in the sky?
Dark blue clouds in the sky are typically caused by the scattering of sunlight by water droplets or ice crystals in the atmosphere. This scattering can make the clouds appear darker and bluer in color.
How do clouds turn black?
Clouds can turn black when they are full of moisture and become thick and dense. This can happen before a heavy rainstorm or thunderstorm, as the clouds block more of the sunlight and give the appearance of being black. Additionally, pollution or smoke in the atmosphere can also make clouds appear darker.
Very big particles like droplets of water absorb more radiation than they scatter how does this relate to the darkness of rain clouds?
Rain clouds appear dark because the large water droplets they contain absorb more sunlight than they reflect or scatter. This absorption of sunlight by the water droplets makes the clouds appear denser and darker.
Why is fog sometimes white and sometimes gray?
The sun emits a variety of ultra violet rays that form a color spectrum. Different materials absorb these rays and others reflect them. Clouds, the sky and the oceans do not absorb the blue ultra violet rays and are refracted in the water molecules which is why they appear blue. Clouds appear white because of the sunlight that passes through them.
What are some interesting questions about clouds that you would like to explore?
Some interesting questions about clouds that could be explored include: How do different types of clouds form? What role do clouds play in the Earth's climate system? How do clouds impact weather patterns and precipitation? How are clouds affected by climate change?
Why some clouds darker than others?
Some clouds are darker because of the lack of sunlight. Some clouds are blocking the other clouds and it forms a shadow and that the cloud won't get sunlight. Also that if the cloud is darker, because it is pollution. Pollution is like an evil dye that no one likes because it also has a lot of chemicals in it. That is why NEVER DRINK RAIN WATER! The darker clouds have water (rain) in them, where as the white ones are just empty.

Why is it most likely to rain when clouds are grey?
The darker the cloud... the more moisture it contains.
What clouds are larger and darker on the bottom and produce thunderstorms?
Clouds that are dark on the bottom are likely cumulonimbus clouds. That word comes from cumulus and nimbus. Cumulus means light, or fluffy. They're the kind of clouds you look for shapes in. Nimbus means rain. So, fluffy rain clouds is a rough translation. Cumulonimbus clouds bring rain, and possibly a tornado if you live in that area. It might be a heavy rain or a harsh thunderstorm. Just get inside as fast as you can!
Why do clouds tern black?
All clouds are white, meaning the water droplets that make up a cloud scatter light in all wavelengths so they combine to produce white light. Clouds appear dark if they are in the shadow of other clouds or, sometimes, if the top of the same cloud produces a shadow on itself. There is also a darker look to some clouds if the background color is bright sunlight, making a great contrast.
What causes the appearance of dark blue clouds in the sky?
Dark blue clouds in the sky are typically caused by the scattering of sunlight by water droplets or ice crystals in the atmosphere. This scattering can make the clouds appear darker and bluer in color.
Do black clouds produce rain?
Yes, some rain clouds are dark grey or black, due to the fact that these clouds are very dense and big, also containing lots of water vapor. The density of the cloud and all the water vapor doesn't allow as much light through as a normal cloud does, giving it a darker appearance.
Why do rain bearing clouds look black?
Why do white clouds look black ... I will answer with a question: Why do white kids try to look black? So to answer your question the answer must be: Because it's the popular thing to do!
Is cumulus short for cumulonimbus?
No. Cumulus clouds are the fairly small, puffy white clouds that usually come with nice weather. Cumulonimbus clouds are enormous towering clouds often called thunderheads as it is these clouds that become thunderstorms.
