Why do calm air and clear sky favour dew formation?

Answer and explanation

Correct answer: They enhance ground radiational cooling

Correct answer: A. At night, the ground loses heat by radiation. A clear sky allows this outgoing radiation to escape effectively, while calm air prevents strong mixing with warmer air above. The surface can therefore cool until the air touching it reaches its dew point, the temperature at which it becomes saturated. Water vapour then condenses into droplets on grass, leaves, or other surfaces. B is wrong because the key process is cooling, not warming, and calm conditions do not simply stop all evaporation. C is wrong because a clear sky does not form clouds; clouds often reduce night-time cooling. D is wrong because strong turbulence mixes air and is generally unfavourable for surface dew. Memory cue: clear, calm night plus moisture favours dew.
