Why does a clear night sky increase the chance of dew formation?

Answer and explanation

Correct answer: Because clear sky increases radiational heat loss from the surface

Correct answer: A. At night, the ground and other exposed surfaces lose heat by long-wave radiation. With a clear sky, clouds are absent to absorb and re-radiate part of this outgoing energy, so the surface can cool more strongly. If its temperature falls to the dew point, the nearby air becomes saturated and water vapour condenses into liquid droplets on the surface. A is correct. B is wrong because a clear sky usually favours cooling rather than keeping the surface warm. C is wrong because vapour does not become soil. D is wrong because cooling usually raises relative humidity; it does not make it zero. Dew needs a moist near-surface layer and sufficient cooling. Memory cue: clear night, strong radiation loss, dew point, dew.
