It does if you are close enough to the volcano. Eruptions such as those at Mount Vesuvius, Mount St. Helens, and Mount Pinatubo covered some areas in complete darkness in the middle of the day. Farther away from a volcano, the coarser particles will have settled to the ground while the remaining finer particles are scattered wide enough that the to not block a noticeable amount of sunlight.

How does volcanic ash affect humans?
volcanic ash can clog up the lungs when inhaled suffocating the human, it can get in their eyes and irratate and blind them, it can burn them then infect the injury or it can block out the light and heat of the sun
What would happen if the sun was blocked by volcanic ash?
If this happens it won't effect the whole Earth, but a part of it.
How can a volcanic eruption affect the sun?
A volcanic eruption here on Earth can not affect the Sun. However, a volcanic eruption here on Earth can put particles of ash and some volcanic gases into the atmosphere that affects the transparency of Earth's atmosphere to sunlight. With the ash content the skies near the volcano go dark during the day and with the gases (especially sulfur oxides) the amount of cloud cover increases causing sunlight to be reflected and the air to cool.
How do large scale volcanic eruptions cause global temperature decrease?
ash arises making the sun blocked and the temperatures be effected
How does dust from volcanoes link to global warming?
Volcanic eruptions can reduce global warming for a short time by blocking and reflecting the sun's heat with their dust and ash.

How do volcanoes effects earth climate?
Volcanic ash can block out the sun and cause temporary cold climates.

Why do volcanic eruptions affect the temprature?
The volcanic eruptions affect the temperature due to the ash cloud it injects into the atmosphere. The ash cloud insulates the earth, preventing some of the warm of the sun from being absorb by the earth. This results in cooler temperatures in the affected areas.
How do large scale volcanic eruptions cause global temperature decrease?
ash arises making the sun blocked and the temperatures be effected
How is ash formed?
Impure carbon particles resulting from the incomplete combustion of a hydrocarbon (ash or soot) absorb heat.
What happens to the earths temperature when a large about of volcanic ash fills the atmosphere?
The ash would completely block out the sun's rays and not allow light or heat to the Earth. Life would cease to exist! :]
What is a sentence using the word blot?
She used a tissue to blot the spilled coffee from the table.
How does dust from volcanoes link to global warming?
Volcanic eruptions can reduce global warming for a short time by blocking and reflecting the sun's heat with their dust and ash.
What are 5 effects of volcanoes erupting?
the ash begins the flow up in the air,the sun gets rays and it decreases the temperatures
When a volcano erupts can it block the sun?
Yes. Large explosive volcanic eruptions can produce enormouys ash clouds that can turn day as dark as night in areas around the volcano. Ash and gas from such eruptions can filter out enough sunlight to reuduce global temperatures.
