Cloudiness

Cloudiness refers to the presence and density of clouds in the sky, which can vary from clear to overcast. It is usually measured in terms of the percentage of the sky covered by clouds, called cloud cover. For example, 0% means a clear sky, while 100% indicates complete overcast conditions. Cloudiness influences weather by affecting sunlight, temperature, and precipitation; more clouds typically mean cooler days and a higher chance of rain. It is an important factor in weather forecasting and climate studies, indicating atmospheric conditions and helping predict upcoming weather patterns.
