Cloud Clues

Earth & Space

Time to complete: 45 minutes

Clouds play an important role in maintaining the Earth’s temperature. One of the ways they regulate the amount of light (energy) coming from the sun is their opacity. The terms transparent, translucent, and opaque describe how much light gets through a cloud and help us understand why clouds make shadows.

Note: The citizen science activity done in this episode, S’COOL, is now part of GLOBE (K-12 classroom) and GLOBE Observer (out-of-school).
