EO Kids is investigating how similar snow and clouds look from space. In this issue, discover how satellites measure light to help scientists know which is which. You can also create your very own cloud in a bottle with our “DIY Science” activity. Plus, get involved as a citizen scientist by observing clouds for NASA.
At EO Kids we are committed to making Earth science fun and engaging. Come explore Earth with us.
