Cloud albedo varies from less than 10 % to more than 90 % and depends on drop sizes, liquid water or ice content, thickness of the cloud, and the sun's zenith angle.

Cloud types with significant vertical extent can form in the low or middle altitude ranges depending on the moisture content of the air.

Seen from below, clouds emit infrared radiation back to the surface, and so exert a warming effect ; seen from above, clouds reflect sunlight and emit infrared radiation to space, and so exert a cooling effect .< ref name = hartmann-1997 > Cloud representations vary among global climate models, and small changes in cloud cover have a large impact on the climate.
