Why is dew formation more likely on a clear and calm night?

Answer and explanation

Correct answer: Because the surface can cool rapidly by radiation

Direct answer: A. After sunset, the ground and other surfaces lose heat by terrestrial radiation. A clear sky allows this radiational cooling to be effective because clouds are not present to absorb and re-radiate as much outgoing heat. Calm air also limits mixing with warmer air above, so the surface can become cold enough to reach the dew point. Water vapour then condenses into dew. A is correct because it identifies the key cooling process. B is wrong because warming does not favour dew. C is wrong because moisture must remain for condensation. D is wrong because clouds generally reduce surface cooling rather than prevent it in the stated way. Memory cue: clear sky lets heat escape; calm air lets the surface stay cool.
