Imagine a volcano is like a giant sneeze for the Earth. When it erupts, it sends lots of ash and gases high into the sky, blocking sunlight and making the planet cooler, just like how clouds can make the day feel colder.
Examples
- A big volcanic eruption is like throwing a blanket over the sun, making it colder everywhere.
- After Mount Pinatubo erupted, people around the world had cooler summers for two years.
- Volcanoes can cause unusual weather, like snow in summer.
