Answer 1

Well, my funny friend, the correct answer is that more sunlight is reflected than transmitted by the white upper surface of clouds. Those fluffy clouds up there are like a bunch of reflective mirrors, bouncing the sunlight back into space instead of letting it warm up the Earth's surface. So, on cloudy summer days, those clouds are basically playing a game of Hide and Seek with the sun, making it seem colder. Those sneaky clouds just love to keep us guessing!
