what is the reason behind it's luminance?
The luminance or brightness of a cloud is determined by how light is reflected, scattered, and transmitted by the cloud's particles. Its brightness may also be affected by the presence of haze or photometeors such as halos and rainbows.

chemical and physical processes include the formation of clouds On Earth, clouds are formed as a result of saturation of the air when it is cooled to its dew point, or when it gains sufficient moisture (usually in the form of water vapor) from an adjacent source to raise the dew point to the ambient temperature. how is it classified? Stratus, cirrus, stratocumulus, cumulus, and cumulonimbus. where is it formed? In the Earth's homosphere where did it get it's name from? The origin of the term "cloud" can be found in the Old English words "clud" or "clod", meaning a hill or a mass of rock, because of the similarity in appearance between a mass of rock , it got the name.

Cloud [SEP] Luminance, reflectivity, and coloration
The luminance or brightness of a cloud is determined by how light is reflected, scattered, and transmitted by the cloud's particles. Its brightness may also be affected by the presence of haze or photometeors such as halos and rainbows. In the troposphere, dense, deep clouds exhibit a high reflectance (70% to 95%) throughout the visible spectrum. Tiny particles of water are densely packed and sunlight cannot penetrate far into the cloud before it is reflected out, giving a cloud its characteristic white color, especially when viewed from the top. Cloud droplets tend to scatter light efficiently, so that the intensity of the solar radiation decreases with depth into the gases.
