Why do dense clouds appear dark from below?

Answer and explanation

Correct answer: They block more sunlight

Correct answer: A, because dense clouds block more sunlight. Clouds contain many water droplets and, in some cases, ice particles. A thick or dense cloud allows less sunlight to pass through it. When viewed from below, the underside receives less transmitted light and therefore appears grey or dark, especially before or during heavy rain. The cloud is not literally made of a black substance. Option A is correct because the appearance results from reduced light transmission. Option B is wrong because clouds are not made of stone. Option C is wrong because water droplets are an important part of clouds. Option D is wrong because dense clouds can form during daylight as well as at night. Memory cue: thicker cloud means less light below, so it looks darker.
