On estime que pour la Terre entière, la nébulosité moyenne est de 4 octas, c'est-à-dire que les nuages couvrent sensiblement en chaque instant la moitié du globe considéré dans son ensemble. On peut dire encore que pour l'observateur interplanétaire qui observe notre globe, la moitié de celui-ci est en moyenne masquée par les nuages.
