The video explains how volcanic aerosols, tiny particles released by volcanoes, affect the atmosphere and clouds. These aerosols can change the properties of water droplets, making clouds brighter and more reflective. Scientists use satellite data to study these changes, comparing islands with and without volcanic activity. The findings show that volcanic aerosols can influence climate by altering cloud properties, which affects rainfall and wind patterns. Understanding these interactions helps improve weather and climate predictions.
