The layer of the rainforest that blocks out most of the sun is the canopy. Located approximately 60 to 100 feet above the ground, the canopy is formed by the upper branches and leaves of tall trees, which absorb a significant amount of sunlight. This dense layer creates a complex ecosystem that supports a diverse range of plants and animals, while also shading the layers below. As a result, the understory and forest floor receive only a fraction of the sunlight that reaches the canopy.
The layer of leaves that blocks most of the sunlight from reaching the ground in the rainforest is called the canopy layer. This dense layer of vegetation helps regulate temperature and humidity levels in the rainforest ecosystem.
