The Paradox of Clouds: Exploring the Positive Climate Feedback of Cooling Clouds
Radiation BalanceClouds are an important part of the Earth’s atmosphere and play a crucial role in regulating the planet’s temperature. Formed when water vapor condenses into droplets or ice crystals, clouds can have both a cooling and warming effect on the Earth’s climate. While clouds have a net cooling effect on the planet, they also have

Why Earth Doesn’t Radiate at Absorption Wavelengths: Balancing the Radiation Budget
Radiation BalanceAs humans, we are constantly trying to understand the world around us. One of the many mysteries we try to solve is why the Earth doesn’t radiate at wavelengths where there is strong absorption. The answer lies in the Earth’s radiation budget. The radiation budget The radiation balance, also known as the energy balance, is
