Evaporation
Wet clothes dry faster outdoors on a clear day than on a cloudy day because the sun's heat and UV rays can penetrate the fabric and promote evaporation more effectively. On a cloudy day, less sunlight reaches the clothes, leading to lower temperatures and slower evaporation rates.
I don't know for sure, but it seems to me that there are more sunny days than cloudy days. If I had to guess, it would probably be about 280 sunny days.
Clothes will likely dry faster on a warm still day, even if it's overcast. Wind can help clothes dry faster, but the warmth will accelerate the evaporation process more effectively than just wind alone.
Wet clothes dry faster on a hot day because the heat in the air increases the rate of evaporation of the water from the clothes. In contrast, on a cold day, the lower temperature reduces the rate of evaporation, resulting in slower drying times.
For Cleveland, OH... About 66 days of sunshine. The remaining 299 days consist of 97 partly cloudy and 202 cloudy days. Yes, 202 cloudy days! We've gone 2 weeks straight (usually in the winter) without seeing so much as a spec of sunshine. Percentage-wise that breaks down to: 18% Sunny days 27% Partly Cloudy days 55% Cloudy days Keep in mind too that during December, January and February we only have 9 sunny days on average throughout the entire 3 month span. (9 sunny days vs. 68 cloudy days). That's only 3 days per month folks. Not good. Only 4 other major US cities have less sunshine than Cleveland (Seattle, Portland, Buffalo and Pittsburgh).

Clothes dry faster on a sunny day because of the sun's heat and radiation. The sun helps to evaporate moisture from the clothes more quickly, speeding up the drying process. In contrast, on a cloudy day, there is less direct sunlight and heat, which slows down the evaporation of moisture from the clothes.
Believe it or not, there is a difference. It relates to the average amount of cloud cover expected. Would you believe partly sunny means more cloud cover than partly cloudy? Can be confusing to the public...mostly sunny means more sun than partly cloudy does, while partly sunny means more clouds than partly cloudy does. Anyway, from least cloud cover to most, the scale is: sunny, mostly sunny, partly cloudy, partly sunny, mostly cloudy, cloudy. Mostly sunny means more sun than clouds, partly sunny means more clouds than sun, and partly cloudy generally means an equal amount of clouds and sun.

no because it need more sun light than cloud/ In cloudy conditions, the light will become a limiting factor hence the amount of oxygen produced on a sunny day will be more than on a cloudy day.

During a bright sunny day, there is more sunlight available for photosynthesis, which is an essential component of the process. The more sunlight there is, the more energy plants can absorb to drive photosynthesis. However, during a cloudy day, less sunlight reaches the plants, which can lower the rate of photosynthesis.
Water actually boils faster on a sunny day because the air temperature is typically higher which helps speed up the boiling process. Cloud cover can actually block some of the sun's rays, which can reduce the overall temperature and slow down the boiling of water.
Cloudy days are usually better in summer than bright, sunny days.
A cloudy winter day is warmer than a sunny winter day because the clouds reflect the heat radiating from the earths surface and traps them in the atmosphere. On a sunny (cloudless day) the heat radiates out into space and is lost. on cloudy day the sun rays can't reach the earth surface for evaporation of water which causes cooling, moerover atmosphere is saturated of vapours so evaporation is very less from earth surface as compare to that of sunny day
Hot air dries clothes faster than cold air.

Dark clothes get warm faster because they attract the heat more than light clothes. The color black especially attracts the heat.
