Earth Cloud Aerosol and Radiation Explorer (EarthCARE) satellite mission, recently seen in the news, is a joint venture between which two space agencies?

ISRO and NASA

ESA and NASA

CNSA and Roscosmos

ESA and JAXA

Explanation:

The EarthCARE Mission, a joint effort by ESA and JAXA, aims to understand the interplay between clouds, aerosols, and radiation, crucial for Earth's radiation balance amid the climate crisis. The sun-synchronous orbit mission uses instruments like Atmospheric Lidar and a cloud profiling radar. Clouds and aerosols significantly influence Earth's heat budget, affecting climate through their roles in reflecting sunlight and trapping radiation. Human activities notably impact aerosol levels.
