Across
  1. 2. Result of parallel falling of ice crystals
  2. 7. When ice crystals on both sides of the sun refracts light
  3. 10. Cover the sky in gray, sun came shine through. Mostly act by cooling the earth when reflecting solar radiation. Albedo rating: (4/10)
  4. 11. Light is refracted through more atmosphere when the sun is on the horizon
  5. 12. Tall shape that can bring thunderstorms. Low altitude and dark color keeps out solar radiation. Albedo rating: (8/10)
  6. 15. Requires a low sun and the reflection of light off crystal ice
  7. 16. Long, wispy and thin high in the sky. Let in most solar radiation, warms earth’s surface. Albedo rating: (1/10)
  8. 17. Result of interactions between the sun’s particles and the magnetosphere
Down
  1. 1. Puffy shape with one part darker than the other. Don’t do much to let in OR reflect heat, depends on the thickness and altitude. Albedo rating: (4/10)
  2. 3. Lumpy and gray and vary in uniformity. Low altitude keep out solar radiation and heat from the sun. Albedo rating: (6/10)
  3. 4. Puffy cotton balls with a flat base. Low altitude reflects the sun heat and radiation, cooling the surface. Albedo rating: (7/10)
  4. 5. Formed by electromagnetic waves within when sunlight passes by an object
  5. 6. When the sun/moon’s light refracts around objects
  6. 8. Cover most of the sky in gray and bring rain. Keep out light/solar radiation from sun, cool earth’s surface. Albedo rating: (9/10)
  7. 9. Caused by light refraction by clouds and raindrops
  8. 13. Rounded small white/gray puffs in rows. Reflect little solar radiation, warms earth’s surface. Albedo rating: (1/10)
  9. 14. Formed by incoming light from the sun/moon being refracted by high altitude ice crystals
