The possible mechanism of cosmic ray influence on clouds formation in the atmosphere is considered. Ionization of the atmosphere caused by cosmic rays can lead to the formation of condensation centers. But at the same time interaction between cosmic ray and the atmosphere might change transparency of the atmosphere and the atmospheric temperature, too. Calculations of changes of the condensation growth rate of water drops due to changes of the temperature have been performed. This effect can provide an increase in a few percents of growth rate of drops. This can explain the observed correlation between cloudiness and cosmic ray intensity.To search for other articles by the author(s) go to: http://adsabs.harvard.edu/abstract_service.html
