The clouds reflect this radiation back to the ground, thus enabling satellites to see the " shadow " it casts into space.

When cirrus clouds are thick, they reflect only around 9 % of the incoming sunlight, but they prevent almost 50 % of the outgoing infrared radiation from escaping, thus raising the temperature of the atmosphere beneath the clouds by an average of 10 ° C ( 18 ° F )— a process known as the greenhouse effect.

Low, thick clouds ( such as stratocumulus ) primarily reflect incoming solar radiation, causing it to have a high albedo, whereas high, thin clouds ( such as Cirrus ) tend to transmit it to the surface but then trap outgoing infrared radiation, causing it to have low albedo.

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.

These clouds would then reflect the sunlight, creating a positive impact on climate mitigation.

Cirrocumulus clouds tend to reflect the red and yellow colours during a sunset and sunrise, and thus they have been referred to as " one of the most beautiful clouds ".

In Astronomy, reflection nebulae are clouds of interstellar dust which reflect the light of a nearby star or stars.

The radar also helps to estimate microphysical properties of clouds, such as particle size and mass content, which aids in understanding how clouds reflect, absorb and transform radiant energy passing though the atmosphere.

The high altitude clouds serve to reflect strongly-reddened sunlight still striking the stratosphere after sunset, down to the surface.

Land reflects anywhere from 10 – 25 % of the Sun's light, and clouds reflect around 50 %.

At times this may be moot due to weather, such as when the tall cumulonimbus clouds of a squall line of thunderstorms reflect the signal over the top, like an extremely tall radio tower.

During the day, since no clouds are present to reflect sunlight, there is more incoming shortwave solar radiation and temperatures rise.

More often than not, the troposphere will reflect the light, and leave out the sound-in these cases some fraction of the light emanating from distant thunderstorms ( whose distant clouds may be so low to the horizon as to be essentially invisible ) is scattered by the upper atmosphere and thus visible to remote observers.

During the day, since no clouds are present to reflect sunlight, there is more incoming shortwave solar radiation and temperatures rise.

Since clouds reflect sunlight, incoming shortwave solar radiation is less which causes lower temperatures during the day.

During the day, since no clouds are present to reflect sunlight, there is more incoming shortwave solar radiation and temperatures rise.

The clouds now reflect the image of the swirling leaves ; this is a parallelism that gives evidence that we lifted “ our attention from the finite world into the macrocosm ”.

He could even reflect clouds on the backdrop by painting different things on the mirrors that reflected light onto the dome.

Due to their high altitude and the curvature of the surface of the Earth, these clouds will receive sunlight from below the horizon and reflect it to the ground, shining brightly well before dawn or after dusk.

The clouds parted and hard gashes of sunlight swooped down to stain the earth with streaks of white and gold light so that the shadows of the running horses flowed like dark streams over the dazzling snow.

MacLeod designs an energy shield to protect the Earth after its ozone layer began to disintegrate, but the Shield's heavy red clouds and blocking of natural sunlight have plunged mankind into despair.

Although the mountains tend to collect clouds and block sunlight ( reducing some narrow valleys at certain times of year to no more than three or four hours of sunlight per day ), the country is generally sunny, receiving as much as 2, 900 hours of sunlight per year in some areas.

During sunrise and sunset sunlight is attenuated due to Rayleigh scattering and Mie scattering from a particularly long passage through Earth's atmosphere, and the Sun is sometimes faint enough to be viewed comfortably with the naked eye or safely with optics ( provided there is no risk of bright sunlight suddenly appearing through a break between clouds ).

There is no night in free space, and no clouds or atmosphere to block sunlight.

When they are thin and translucent, the clouds efficiently absorb outgoing infrared radiation while only marginally reflecting the incoming sunlight.

Within the troposphere, red, orange, and pink clouds occur almost entirely at sunrise / sunset and are the result of the scattering of sunlight by the atmosphere.

The clouds do not become that color ; they are reflecting long and unscattered rays of sunlight, which are predominant at those hours.

This is characterized by persistent mist or clouds at the vegetation level, resulting in the reduction of direct sunlight and thus of evapotranspiration.

Far away clouds or snowy mountaintops will seem yellow as well ; that effect is not obvious on clear days, but very pronounced when clouds are covering the line of sight reducing the blue hue from scattered sunlight.

The intensity ranges ( roughly ) from of direct sunlight for relatively thin clouds down to of direct sunlight under the extreme of thickest storm clouds.

Evaporation of water occurs when the surface of the liquid is exposed, allowing molecules to escape and form water vapor ; this vapor can then rise up and form clouds.

Some had suggested allowing the rays of the sun to extend through the clouds, as appears to be specified in the original law and sometimes seen in other versions, but Whitehouse rejected that idea and kept with the traditional die representation.

Using their magic, the three sisters incite fear and confusion among the Fir Bolg army, conjuring " compact clouds of mist and a furious rain of fire " and allowing their enemies " neither rest nor stay for three days and nights ".

* Cloud Infrastructure Management Interface ( CIMI )-CIMI is a self-service interface for infrastructure clouds, allowing users to dynamically provision, configure and administer their cloud usage with a high-level interface that greatly simplifies cloud systems management.

Jay chooses Shua over Cade and destroys the thick clouds over Ecoban, allowing blue sky to show through over the city.

As more items accumulate, the katamari ’ s power grows, allowing it to pick up “ vaulting boxes, pencils, erasers, postcards, ramen, robots, cows, sheep, this girl, that boy, moms and dads, bicycles, motorbikes, homes, buildings, rainbows, clouds, islands, hopes and dreams ”.

In water clouds where the concentrations are larger ( hundreds per cm < sup > 3 </ sup >) and the temperatures are warmer ( thus allowing for much lower supersaturation rates as compared to ice clouds ), the relaxation times will be very low ( seconds to minutes ).

Infrared light can penetrate the cosmic dust clouds, allowing us to peer into regions of star formation and the centers of galaxies.

* Joy: Peach becomes very happy and becomes enveloped in a powerful cyclone with musical notes, allowing her to fly, gust fogs and clouds, turn windmills, push down fountains, hit blocks above her and blow enemies away.

Rain clouds originating over the Indian Ocean discharge much of their moisture over the island's eastern coast ; the heavy precipitation supports the area's rain forest ecosystem.

* Extra massive hydrogen clouds: The spectral lines of the Lyman-alpha forest suggest that hydrogen clouds are more clumped together at certain scales than expected and, like dark flow, may indicate that gravity falls off slower than inverse-squared at certain distance scales.

Yellowish clouds may occur in the late spring through early fall months during forest fire season.

This image reveals how the forest and the atmosphere interact to create a uniform layer of " popcorn-shaped " Cumulus humilis cloud | cumulus clouds.

In the standard cosmology, clouds of neutral hydrogen between the quasar and the earth create Lyman alpha absorption lines having different redshifts up to that of the quasar itself ; this feature is called the Lyman-alpha forest.

Apart from forest fires, pyrocumulus clouds can also be produced by volcanic eruptions.

This is rare, but volcanoes sometimes produce such clouds, as do forest fires.

This has never been explained, though clouds of smoke from massive forest fires are the most likely cause.

Unprecedented views were obtained of cloud structures, storm systems, dust clouds, pollutants, forest burning and surface reflectance.

The Lyman-alpha forest is an important probe of the intergalactic medium and can be used to determine the frequency and density of clouds containing neutral hydrogen, as well as their temperature.

Monchhichis were monkey-like creatures who lived in the forest land of Monchia at the very top of tall trees well above the clouds.

Even though the Earth's atmosphere contains a water vapor concentration from 0 % ( in arid regions ) to 4 % ( in rain forest and ocean regions ) and only 387 parts per million of, these small amounts suffice to raise the average surface temperature of the Earth by about 40 ° C from what it would otherwise be, with the dominant contribution being due to water vapor, which together with clouds makes up between 66 % and 85 % of Earth's greenhouse effect, with contributing between 9 % and 26 % of the effect.

In these feverish dreams, he was in a forest with rocks and clouds, many of which turned into wild, unnaturally colored creatures, which frequently features wings, horns, tails, fierce teeth and bulgy eyes.

Because the clouds and the quasar are all at different distances from Earth, and moving at different velocities due to the expansion of the universe, the quasar spectrum has a " forest " of absorption features at wavelengths shorter than its own Lyman alpha emission.
