True. Because they are white we know that they reflect light, and thus heat.

Answer: True.

Explanation: The green house gases have the ability to trap heat and make the environment temperature suitable for living.

Like green house gases, clouds also trap heat and this is the reason why the temperature of the earth is more on a cloudy day as compared on a clear day.

Hence, this proves that the clouds can also trap heat as like that of green house gases.
