A volcano can make the whole world feel cooler. Imagine throwing a giant blanket of ash into the sky, it blocks the sun’s rays, making Earth feel like it's wearing sunglasses on a hot day. This is what happens when volcanoes erupt; they send particles high up in the air, and that changes the weather for years.
Examples
- A big volcanic eruption can make a whole country cooler for years, like when Mount Pinatubo erupted and made Earth feel chilly.
- Imagine throwing ash into the air like confetti; that’s what volcanoes do, and it blocks the sun’s rays.
- If you live near a volcano and it erupts, you might get a snowstorm in July, that's how powerful volcanic cooling can be.
