Abstract

A review of scientific studies of the existence of the influence of galactic cosmic rays on cloudiness on Earth and, accordingly, on climatic fluctuations is given. Corresponding illustrations are presented.  Describes the work on this topic, carried out in the international center CERN (project "CLOUD"). The article examines the research of the last decades.
