What happens to the speed of the energy conversion within the system when the clouds are in the sky?

When clouds are in the sky, the speed of energy conversion within the system may slow down. This is because clouds can block or reflect sunlight, thus reducing the amount of solar energy that reaches the Earth's surface. As a result, the efficiency of processes such as photosynthesis in plants, and solar panels in converting sunlight into energy may decrease. Additionally, the presence of clouds can also affect wind patterns and temperature, which can further impact the speed of energy conversion within the system.
