Climate change on Earth is happening at an unprecedented rate and people are constantly being reminded of global warming and ways to control it. A lot of important information about the Earth's climate can be gained by scientists by studying clouds. National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) has come up with NASA GLOBE Cloud Challenge 2022: Clouds in a Changing Climate and is providing you an opportunity to become a citizen scientist by downloading the GLOBE Program's Observer app.

Informing about the same NASA tweeted, "Will you look at clouds with us? Your observations will help us in our study of Earth’s climate. Become a citizen scientist by downloading The @GLOBEProgram's Observer app and get started: https://go.nasa.gov/33I8syj." As per the information provided, the challenge will run from January 15 to February 15, 2022.

Announcing the challenge, NASA said in a report, "During this year's challenge, which runs Jan. 15 through Feb. 15, we're asking you to observe clouds in two ways. And while doing so, to consider the following: How do the clouds above your head connect to what's happening on a global scale?"

"Are you seeing more precipitating clouds? Are you seeing less of them? Are there more thick, blanketed clouds that cast more shadows, or are you seeing more of those thin high clouds that are ice and don't cast shadows but hold the heat in the atmosphere?" said Marile Colon Robles, atmospheric scientist and lead for the GLOBE Clouds Team at NASA's Langley Research Center in Hampton, Virginia. "Each cloud type affects Earth's energy balance differently. That's what we're trying to understand."

The first way that the public can participate in this year’s NASA challenge is by making observations with the
