Competition Details

Would you like to see your space-themed artwork displayed on the ESA Kids website? Here's your chance! Each month, ESA Kids delves into a different space-related theme, ranging from orbits and planets to astronauts and asteroids. The best entries will be featured in the Space Gallery and winners will receive a special prize from ESA.

This Month's Theme: Clouds

The EarthCARE satellite, a joint project between ESA and the Japan Aerospace Exploration Agency (JAXA), has recently been launched to study clouds and aerosols. EarthCARE's advanced tools help scientists understand how clouds affect weather and climate.

Types of Clouds to Inspire Your Art:

• Cirrus Clouds: High, thin, and wispy, these clouds often indicate good weather but can signal a change.
• Cumulus Clouds: Big, fluffy, and white, resembling cotton balls. They generally mean nice weather but can develop into storm clouds.
• Stratus Clouds: These clouds cover the sky like a grey blanket and typically bring light rain or drizzle.
• Nimbostratus Clouds: Thick, dark clouds that bring steady rain or snow.
• Cumulonimbus Clouds: Towering clouds that can cause thunderstorms, heavy rain, hail, and even tornadoes.

Clouds play a crucial role in regulating Earth's temperature by reflecting sunlight and trapping heat. EarthCARE will enhance our understanding of these processes, aiding in better weather prediction and climate change research.

Guidelines for Participation

• Your artwork can be a drawing, painting, model, or mobile—let your imagination soar!
• Show us your interpretation of clouds through your art.
• The competition is open to children up to 12 years old.
