Question

Why is the color of the clouds white or black ?

Answer 1

Answer : We can see an object only when it reflects light from our eyes. An object that does not reflect light after it has been illuminated is an object we see as black. The same is true of clouds. When light falls on the clouds and the light is reflected from our eyes, then we see the clouds as white. Again when the light falls on the clouds and the light is not reflected from it then we see the color of the clouds as black or gray. Clouds are made up of many water particles. Water droplets are a tiny form of water that we cannot see with the naked eye. But if many particles are together then we can see it in the form of clouds. Temperatures far above the sky are much lower than on Earth , so some of the water droplets become ice. Sunlight is reflected and reflected in these icy water droplets. Which makes us think the color of the clouds is white. Occasionally and during rains these water droplets become quite heavy and they no longer remain in the form of clouds but fall in the form of rain. And then the density of water particles increases so much that even sunlight cannot come through them. That is, reflection or refraction does not occur in general. So then the color of the clouds seems to us to be black or gray.
