Why do clear nights help dew formation?

Answer and explanation

Correct answer: The surface cools rapidly by longwave radiation

Correct answer: A. After sunset, the ground and exposed objects lose heat by emitting longwave radiation. A clear sky allows this radiational cooling to proceed efficiently because clouds are not present to absorb and re-radiate as much outgoing energy back toward the surface. As the surface cools, the air touching it may reach its dew point, and water vapour condenses into liquid droplets. B is wrong because the Sun does not provide heat at night. C is wrong because water vapour is not destroyed; it changes into droplets. D is wrong because the surface does not always remain above freezing. Memory cue: clear, calm nights favour radiational cooling and dew.
