The cloudiness or cloud cover is the result of the space that clouds occupy in the sky, which is the best representation of the physical processes that interact in a given place, it is also an important limitation in the applications of optical remote sensing in places where clouds abound such as the tropical zone where Peru is located. The geography of Peru means that it has a variety of climates and meteorological variables such as cloud cover vary in each month of the year. The main objective of this research was to determine the average cloud coverage in Peru over a period of years using the satellite product Cloud Mask of the MODIS sensor based on cloud coverage in terms of clear skies. For this purpose, the Terra and Aqua satellites that have this sensor were used during the period 2002 - 2018 in two-time ranges; Furthermore, it was determined that meteorological systems at the synoptic level promote the formation of cloud cover in the continent, as well as in Peru; and it was compared with meteorological stations that record cloud cover to see if they correctly represent the variable. The results show that it does represent the cloud cover in each month of the year. During the summer months, it is observed that in the Sierra and Selva region the probability of having a clear sky is very low, and in the Coast region the probability is high; In the winter months the opposite happens: in the Sierra and Selva region the probability of having a clear sky increases and in the Coast region the probability decreases. The increase in cloud cover will depend on the humidity concentration in the Amazon basin, which is the main place of cloud formation in the South American continent and affects Peru, since the average air temperature is high and constant throughout the year. The validation was good for most of the territory of Peru with a correlation higher than 0.8; however, it underestimates the values and presents not so large errors. Therefore, the average obtained from Mr. MODIS's Cloud Mask product serves to represent the climate of the cloud cover variable in Peru and would support remote sensing, weather forecasting, disaster management, renewable energy, among others.
