What happens to the temperature when clouds are out at night?
Its warmer. The heat from the Earth is kept in the atmostphere - they act as a blanket. However its colder when clouds are out in the day as the Suns heat can't get through.
Is it warmer or cooler on a clear night?
Usually cooler. The clouds act as a blanket to keep the solar heat close to the surface.
Clouds that form in a blanket like layers are?
the answer is stratus clouds!:)
Why is it more likely to be frosty on a clear night than on a cloudy night?
Since clouds are cool moist air, and cold air is heavier than warm air, the cloud cover holds down the warmth that accumulates during the day and keeps the ambient temperature slightly higher over night.
What does the metaphor the white clouds were?
they are clouds which actually has a white color
Why is it warm at night when there are clouds?
The cloud cover helps to keep the heat from the day in, much like an insulating blanket.

Why is it clear night is more cooler than a cloudy night?
Clouds are natures "blanket". Cloudy night: The heat is held close to earth's surface. Clear night: The heat radiates off into space.

Why is savanna hot in the afternoon and cold in the night?
An African Savanna is hot in the day and cold at night because in the day, the sun heats up the earth, and Africa is at the equator, where the sun has a smaller area to heat, so it is extremely hot. But at night, it is extremely cold because there are no clouds to keep the heat in, so the heat just escapes. Think of the clouds as a blanket over the world. No blanket, no heat.
How do clouds keep us warm at night?
well... during the day the sun heats up the earth. and when night falls and its cloudy the clouds act like a blanket and keep the heat in better than if it was not cloudy at night. (Just wanted to tell that i didn't think of this someone else did.)

How can increased cloud coverage increase average surface temperature?
Cloud cover acts as a barrier or blanket preventing heat from rising into space. This is why deserts, with no cloud, are often extremely cold at night.
You see a blanket of gray clouds in the sky You can hardly tell where on cloud leaves off and another begins are they nimbus clouds stratus clouds or cumulus clouds?
from clouds
