Why does the Sun sometimes go behind the clouds but never goes in front of them?

Question

Why does the Sun sometimes go behind the clouds but never goes in front of them?

Answer 1

Because the clouds are much closer to the earth than the sun is.  I think the sun is something like 93 million miles from earth, whereas clouds can be as close as a couple of miles.

Answer 2

Are you serious?

Answer 3

Man, that's a good question; )

Have you noticed that people say the sun's further than the moon? Well if it is, how comes I can feel the warmth of the sun and not the moon!? Obviously the sun's closer, it stands to reason. Another thing people say is that the sun's like this really big thing, as big as earth? Are they just dumb? If I hold a coin up I can block it so how bigs that now? People believe anything they get told!

Answer 4

Please.

Answer 5

Its because clouds are here on earth and the sun is way way way way way way way way out there in space.

Answer 6

Cause the sun is farther out in the sky than the clouds.

Answer 7

If it was the Earth would well, die out and the clouds are closer to the Earth. I don't think it is possible for the Sun to go in front of the clouds.

Because as I said we would die out.

Answer 8

sun goes behind the clouds because she is scared of stupid people like you !  

Answer 9

If you think about the sun and earths relationship you will notice the clouds land between the two. If you are standing on earth it is impossible for a cloud(that is much closer to the earth) to be behind the sun(which is a lot further a way). But while standing on earth looking at the sun it would be natural for a cloud to come in between.

Answer 10

Nobody could be this dumb. Really, why waste the five points asking such a question?
