Any logic to why there is a tendency to use "Esta" with clouds and "Hace" with sun

Nublado is an adjective (windy), hence "está nublado" = it is cloudy. Sol is a noun (sun, not sunny), so "está sol" = it is sun. Then, "hace sol" loosely translates to it makes sun ( English interpretation "it is sunny").

Can :"Hace mucho nublado", "Hace muy nublado" and está muy nublado" work for this? native speaker please comment? Mil gracias
To say "It's very cloudy" I would use "Está muy nublado" or "Hay muchas nubes". At least in Spain the first one is more common.
To say "It is sunny" it is a little bit different. Here you can say "Está soleado" or "Hace sol". For me "Hace sol" is more common but it may depend on the region.

ESTÁ (with accent) is a conjugation of the verb ESTAR. As in 'IT IS". Este =this, masculine, as in this snow, this dog etc. But, in the case of this sentence, the 'está is a verb, so doesnt reflect gender . I hope this helps...
