How does a clear sky on a cold night help dew formation?

Answer and explanation

Correct answer: Radiational cooling of the ground increases

Correct answer: A. After sunset, the ground loses heat by emitting terrestrial radiation. A clear sky generally allows this outgoing energy to escape more readily than a cloudy sky, so the ground and objects near it can cool strongly. If a surface cools to the dew point of the nearby air, water vapour condenses on it as dew, provided suitable moisture is present and the temperature is not low enough for frost instead. B is wrong because there is no solar heating during the cold night. C is unrelated to the formation of dew on land surfaces. D is wrong because a clear sky does not guarantee that wind always becomes warm; calm, light-wind conditions often favour dew by allowing surface cooling. Memory cue: clear night lets the ground lose heat, and a cool surface can collect dew.
