曇 is formed from the sun radical 日 on the top and the character 云 on the bottom. 日 represents the sun or sky, while 云 represents clouds. Together, they show clouds covering the sun. From this structure, 曇 came to mean cloudy or overcast.
曇 shows the sun being covered by clouds, meaning cloudy or overcast.
Think of the sun (日) in the sky, then clouds (云) move underneath and cover it. When the sun is hidden by clouds, the sky becomes 曇.
