How do clouds change the influence of the sun on the water cycle?

• Clouds produce precipitation, resulting in more fresh water.

• Clouds shield water sources from the sun, reducing evaporation.

• Clouds enhance the heat of the sun on Earth's surface, increasing evaporation.

• Clouds focus the sun's light, increasing precipitation.
