Clouds are important in that they can form precipitation and bring rain to crops and plants. They also shade the earth, affecting the temperature and keeping sunlight from directly hitting plants.
Separating the effects of the highly reflective cloud cover tending to make Venus colder, from the âgreenhouse effectâ of the dense carbon dioxide atmosphere (mostly below the clouds) that traps heat and tends to make it warmer would give the following results: With no atmosphere, Venus would have a surface temperature of 130 o C With global clouds (which are present) but no greenhouse effect, Venus would have a surface temperature of minus 50 o C With global clouds and the actual greenhouse effect, Venus's real surface temperature averages at 470 o C
