How Do Volcanoes Influence Climate Change?

Volcanoes are like giant fireworks on Earth. When they erupt, they send out big clouds of ash and gas into the sky. These clouds can block sunlight, making it cooler around the world, kind of like how a cloudy day feels cooler than a sunny one. This can cause changes in weather for years.
