Of course. The reason clouds appear white is that the vapor droplets in them are reflecting the full range of spectral emissions, which appears as white light. The sky is blue because smaller Oxygen and Nitrogen atoms selectively scatter blue light. When the weather is "fair" the white clouds will be distinct against the blue sky, but as there is more moisture in the air, there will be more white light reflected and the sky will "wash out."
What else can I help you with?
What will happen when a light is shone at a mirror?
it will reflect off it
What gives clouds their colour?
Color is an interesting thing. What we think of as white light is actually made up of all the colors of light mixed together. This is what you are seeing when you view a rainbow. The water drops have split the sunlight apart into the full spectrum. Consider that when you see anything, light is reflecting off that object and entering your eye. Things appear to be certain colors because they absorb some colors and reflect others. A shirt that we see as blue is reflecting the blue light and absorbing the reds and yellows. So, as light comes through clouds and reflects off clouds some colors are absorbed and others are reflected. It depends mostly on how much liquid they contain; how dense they are. It can also be affected by the clouds temperature.
The interaction of light beams with a surface is called?
The interaction of light beams with a surface is called regular reflection when the light beams reflect off all points of the surface at the same angle. When the light beams hit the surface and reflect off in different angles it is called diffuse reflection.
True or false a planet is a body that gives off light of it owns?
A planet only reflects light from a star like our Sun. Earth is a planet and from experience it does not shine. Stars give off their own light.
Does a shiny penny reflect light?
yes. a penny can reflect light by cutting a hole in it.
Does the sun light reflect on clouds?
Yes it does.
Does a cloud reflect light?
Yes, a cloud reflects light, otherwise you couldn't see it. White clouds reflect a lot of light and dark clouds reflect less. They also transmit light, or else it would go completely dark when it's overcast.
How much does Venus's clouds reflect?
venus clouds don`t reflect alot because venus is`nt really close to light.
Many clouds reflect on a lot of sun light because they have an high?
Clouds reflect sunlight because of their high albedo, which is the ability of a surface to reflect light. This means that they send a significant amount of sunlight back into space, contributing to cooling the Earth's surface.
Does the sun reflect light or gives off light?
The sun gives off light through a process called nuclear fusion in its core. This light then travels through space and reaches Earth, where some of it is reflected off surfaces like clouds, water, and sand.
What causes to reflect a portion of sunlight back to space?
Clouds can reflect some light back to space depending on the water content in the clouds. The water causes a prism which reflects light back into space.
Does a mirror reflect without light?
light is needed to reflect an image off a mirror...no light no reflection
What occurs when light waves travling through the air reflect off small particles?
When light waves traveling through the air reflect off small particles, it results in a phenomenon known as scattering. The scattering of light causes the particles to become visible as they redirect light in various directions, creating effects like the blue color of the sky or the white appearance of clouds.
What is a scientific word for bounce off of?
The scientific term for bounce off of is "reflect."
How does light reflect off of an emerald?
glassy
What reflect light off a mineral?
Luster
What causes clouds to reflect a portion of sunlight back to space?
Clouds reflect sunlight back to space due to their high albedo, which is the measure of how much sunlight a surface or object reflects. The water droplets or ice crystals in clouds scatter and reflect sunlight, which reduces the amount of solar radiation that reaches the Earth's surface. This reflection plays a role in regulating the Earth's energy balance and helps cool the planet.
