Question
How do low clouds trigger the surface temperature on average (in comparison to a clear sky)?
- Low clouds warm the surface by boosting the greenhouse effect.
- Low clouds cool the surface by raising the amount of energy radiated to space.
- Low clouds cool the the surface by raising the albedo.
- It depends on wh5ether they are made of ice or liquid water.
Hint:
lower level clouds often reflect heat from the sun back into space
The correct answer is: Low clouds cool the the surface by raising the albedo.
High-level, feathery clouds help heat the planet during the day, allowing sunlight to penetrate the surface and prevent heat from escaping. Meanwhile, lower level clouds often reflect heat from the sun back into space and keep the surface temperatures cool.
