Cloud Changes Are Worsening Global Warming, Study Finds

Imagine the Earth is like a giant ball covered with a blanket of clouds.

These clouds help keep us cool by reflecting sunlight back into space.

But as the Earth gets warmer, this blanket is changing.

There are fewer of the bright, shiny clouds that reflect a lot of sunlight and more of the darker, broken clouds that don't reflect as much.

This lets more sunlight reach the Earth, making it even warmer.

It's like a cycle: warming changes the clouds, which causes more warming.

Scientists are still learning about this, but they are using satellites to keep a close watch on what's happening.
