curiousone Posted February 16, 2016 Share Posted February 16, 2016 One of the Astronauts said theres a cloud covering the Earth. What did he mean by that? Was the Earth hard to see and why? Curious One Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ophiolite Posted February 16, 2016 Share Posted February 16, 2016 It would have been helpful if you had said which astronaut said it, when they said it and under what circumstances. In the absence of that detail the most likely explanation is a very simple one. When he said there was a cloud covering the Earth it was because there was at that point in time clouds covering a substantial portion of that part of the world visible from the ISS. Clouds can cover many thousands of square miles. Certainly more area than the area visible from the ISS. So really nothing surprising, or unusual.
