The Importance of

Understanding Clouds

One of the most interesting features of Earth, as seen

from space, is the ever-changing distribution of clouds

[see Figure 1]. They are as natural as anything we encounter in our daily lives. As they float above us, we hardly

give their presence a second thought. And yet, clouds

have an enormous influence on Earth’s energy balance,

climate, and weather.

Clouds are the key regulator of the planet’s average temperature. Some clouds contribute to cooling because they

reflect some of the Sun’s energy—called solar energy or

shortwave radiation—back to space. Other clouds contribute to warming because they act like a blanket and trap

some of the energy Earth’s surface and lower atmosphere

emit—called thermal energy or longwave radiation.

Cloud systems also help spread the Sun’s energy evenly

over Earth’s surface. Storms move across the planet and

transport energy from warm areas near the equator to

cold areas near the poles. For more details on the topic

of Energy Balance, refer to NASA Facts 2005-9-074-

GSFC.

Even small changes in the abundance or location of

clouds could change the climate more than the anticipated changes caused by greenhouse gases, human-produced aerosols, or other factors associated with global

change. In order for scientists to create increasingly

realistic computer simulations of Earth’s current and

future climate, they’ll have to include more accurate representations of the behavior of clouds. For this reason,

Figure 1. This image gives an idea of the widespread distribution of clouds in Earth’s atmosphere and is an example of the unique

views of clouds that satellites can provide. Two days of data from the Moderate Resolution Imaging Spectroradiometer (MODIS) on

NASA’s Terra spacecraft were combined to produce this view of clouds over the whole Earth. (Image Credit: Reto Stöckli.)

Answer:

Clouds are created when water vapor, an invisible gas, turns into liquid water droplets. These water droplets form on tiny particles, like dust, that are floating in the air. ... That means some of the liquid water in the towel or bowl changed into an invisible gas called water vapor and drifted away into the atmosphere.
