Do clouds block or transmit uv light?
Clouds can both block and transmit UV light. Thick clouds can block the majority of UV light, reducing the amount that reaches the Earth's surface. However, thin or broken clouds may still allow some UV light to pass through. UV levels can vary based on cloud cover, so it's important to still practice sun safety measures even on a cloudy day.
Where do clouds go to when the sky is blue?
Clouds occupy the sky for separate reasons. The sky is always blue, except when the sun's elevation is very low (sunrise/sunset) or on very hazy days. It is blue due to the way the atmosphere scatters the sun's light. This has nothing at all to do with why clouds might exist in the sky on a particular day.
What is the temperature on a cloudy day?
Clouds are relatively close to the surface of the Earth and act like a blanket to trap the heat that the Earth has close to the surface. Without the clouds the heat rises and mixes with the very cold air of the atmosphere.
What stage of the water cycle affects the sun?
Precipitation affects the sun. Clouds cover the sun.
When it rains y does the sky turn grey?
When it rains, clouds form in the sky due to the moisture in the air condensing. These clouds appear gray because they block sunlight from passing through, causing the sky to appear darker. This gray appearance is a result of the clouds' thickness and the way they scatter and absorb sunlight.
What do you call clouds that block the sun?
Clouds.
Can you still get a sun tan when the sun is behind the clouds?

Does the clouds cover the sun at night?

Why do clouds act like insulators from the sun?
because they are full of water they are full of water they block out the sun.
What role do the ozone clouds and atmosoheric gases play in the transfer of energy from the sun to the atmosphere?
The ozone clouds block the UV rays. These are harmful radiations of the sun.
What is a cloudy day?
A cloudy day is when the sky is full of clouds which block out the sun.
How do weather condition at night different from the condition during the day?
because in the night more clouds form and block the sun in the day there are not many clouds to block the suns rays

What clouds block the sun?
Clouds that typically block the sun include thick, dense clouds such as nimbostratus and cumulonimbus. Nimbostratus clouds are low, gray clouds that cover the sky and bring continuous precipitation, while cumulonimbus clouds are towering and often associated with thunderstorms. Other cloud types like stratus and altostratus can also obscure sunlight, depending on their thickness and coverage.
Why cant you see the sun when its raining?
It's because of all the clouds. They're called rain clouds (scientifically known as cumulonimbus) and they block out the sun because they are so dark.
What are the grey smooth clouds that cover the whole sky and block out the sun called?
The grey smooth clouds that cover the whole sky and block out the sun are called nimbostratus clouds. These clouds typically bring overcast skies and steady precipitation. They are thick and uniform, often appearing as a continuous layer, which prevents sunlight from penetrating through. Nimbostratus clouds are associated with gloomy weather conditions.
Why are temperatures low in the namib deserts?
It is because there are clouds to block some sun rays during the day and there are trees that can block the strong winds.
