Question

why do clouds appear white?

Answer 1

Clouds appear white because of scattering. The droplets in clouds are big compared to the wavelength of light, so all wavelengths scatter the same. It's a different story for the scattering of light from molecules of air in the atmosphere. ... Clouds can appear white or gray.

Answer 2

Answer:

The Sun's light is white, thus clouds are white as well.

Explanation:

The Sun's light is white, thus clouds are white as well. Light interacts with water droplets as it passes through a cloud, which is significantly larger than the atmospheric particles that exist in the sky.

Blue light is scattered away more strongly than other colors when sunlight hits an air particle in the sky, producing the impression that the sky is blue.

Sunlight, on the other hand, is scattered by much larger water droplets in a cloud. These disperse all colors fairly equally, allowing the sunshine to remain white and the clouds to appear white against the blue sky.
