How does a clear sky help dew formation at night?

Answer and explanation

Correct answer: It increases radiational heat loss from the Earth surface

Correct answer: A. At night, the ground and exposed objects lose heat by emitting terrestrial long-wave radiation. With a clear sky, less cloud cover is available to absorb and re-radiate some of this energy back toward the surface, so net radiational cooling is often stronger. The surface temperature may then fall to the dew point of the air immediately above it. Water vapour condenses on the cool surface as liquid droplets called dew, provided the surface is above freezing and other conditions are suitable. Option B is wrong because there is no incoming sunlight at night. Option C is wrong because cooling does not remove all water vapour; it can cause some of it to condense. Option D is wrong because clear skies do not simply stop air from rising, and the surface temperature can change through radiation. Memory cue: clear night, rapid radiational cooling, possible dew.
