Question

Why do clouds appear white to an observer on earth?

Answer 1

$\huge \mathfrak {Hey \:Mateyy}$

Clouds appear to be white because the water droplets in the clouds are bigger compared to the wavelength of the light and due to this the light is scattered in an inelastic way. Such scattering gives diffused sunlight which is white in color. So, the observed color of cloud is white. Anything that reflects the sunlight appears white.The best example is the moon.Clouds are generally good reflectors of sunlight ;only a fraction of the sunlight is absorbed by the clouds and that too is used for raising the temperature of the cloud only.
