Study Finds Clouds Disappear Rapidly During Solar Eclipse

A recent study by researchers from TU Delft and KNMI found that clouds disappear rapidly during a solar eclipse due to diminishing sunlight cooling the ground and slowing down the rising air responsible for cloud formation. The disappearing clouds may have implications for climate engineering ideas, partly counteracting the cooling effect of artificial solar eclipses. The study also highlighted the challenges of measuring solar eclipses from space and provided valuable insights for climate and atmospheric studies.
