Why can dew formation decrease on a cloudy night?

Answer and explanation

Correct answer: Clouds reduce heat loss from the ground

Correct answer: A. Dew forms when a surface cools to or below the dew point, allowing nearby water vapour to condense into droplets. On a clear night, the ground loses heat by radiation more freely and may cool enough for dew formation. Clouds act like a blanket: they absorb and re-emit some outgoing terrestrial radiation, reducing the net cooling of the ground. The surface may therefore remain above its dew point, so less dew forms. B is wrong because clouds do not remove all water vapour. C is wrong because clouds do not always dry the air. D is wrong because evaporation and rainfall are not an automatic direct conversion. Memory cue: clear, calm nights favour dew; clouds usually reduce radiational cooling.
