How do clouds help the earth?

Answer 1

1) Clouds mean that we get rain which means we get drinking water, which means we don't die....pretty helpful

2) Clouds do their job of shading the earth so we don't overheat from the sun

3) Clouds also help retain heat at night like a blanket so we don't radiate all the heat out into space and turn into a big snowball

Like all good things (chocolate, alcohol, sex, or Yahoo Answers) we can have too much of a good thing.
Too many clouds would cause the earth to overheat (look at Venus) and too much rain would wash out all the Superbowls.
So, it's best to have the proper balance of clouds - not too few and not too many.
