  nuclear winter \nuclear winter\ n.
     a hypothetical lowering of global temperature postulated as
     the aftermath of a full nuclear war. The mechanism of such an
     effect depends primarily on the injection into the atmosphere
     of small solid particles, as soot from burning forests, which
     reflect sunlight and cause a reduction in solar energy
     retained by the earth.

           and block the rays of the sun; most living organisms
           would perish
