Yes, the denser the cloud of water vapor, the more solar energy is blocked, or more accurately "reflected" back into space.

Radiation absorbed per 100 units by water vapor and clouds?
The amount of radiation absorbed per 100 units by water vapor and clouds can vary depending on factors like the amount of water vapor present, cloud density, and the type of radiation (e.g. solar or terrestrial). On average, water vapor absorbs a significant portion of solar radiation and emits it back into the atmosphere. Clouds can further enhance this absorption and scattering of radiation, leading to a net increase in energy absorption compared to clear skies.
When water vapor loses energy what phase change occurs?
When water vapor loses energy it "turns" into a liquid
How and why does typhoons gain energy from warm ocean water?
When ocean water is warm, a lot of water vapor evaporates from it. If air laden with that water vapor rises, as it often does it will cool and the water vapor will condense, which releases energy.
Which form of energy is solar energy?
it a solar energy is wind,ice, or water
Why is there a limit on the amount of water vapor the air can hold?
It takes a lot of energy to turn water into water vapor. The amount of energy that the water gains to turn into water vapor begins to be transferred into the surrounding air. If the air is willing to take on more energy the water vapor condenses quicker. This is why hot air will hold more water vapor than cold air.
What is the vapor created by solar energy hitting the comet?
evaporated water
What atmospheric elements block some of the solar energy from the sun?
All of the atmospheric elements block some of the solar energy from the Sun. Oxygen and nitrogen take out most of the UV-C and more energetic wavelengths. Only ozone takes out UV-B, and a narrow bandwidth of blue. Water vapor, carbon dioxide, and ozone take out much infrared and microwaves.

Are there any issues concerning use of solar energy?
Using solar generated steam would increase water vapor, a powerful greenhouse gas, in the atmosphere and raise the overall surface temperature.

Is water vapor gaining or losing energy durning evaportaion?
Water vapor will have more energy than the water. Mainly, this is a kind of potential energy, related to the molecular attractions.
Which form of energy is solar energy?
it a solar energy is wind,ice, or water
How does the solar energy affect oceans and atmosphere movement?
Solar energy is the driving force of weather on Earth. In the "water cycle", the sun is responsible for evaporation of ocean surface water. As this happens, the water vapor rises. The combination of the Earth's rotation and the changes in atmospheric pressure is the primary determinant for when and where the rain comes down.
Occurs when water vapor changes to liquid water?
Its a change in energy primarily. Water vapor loses energy and then becomes liquid. The energy it loses generally is heat. For example, Put water vapor in a sealed container in a freezer, it will change from vapor to liquid, then liquid to solid as it loses energy in the form of heat
What process of the water cycle involves storage of energy in the water vapor in the atmosphere?
Condensation involves storage of energy in vapor state. It is the 2nd step of water cycle.
Is energy from the sun asorbed by water vapor or water dioxide?
both,assuming you mean water vapor and carbon dioxide.
