How do thick clouds keep us cool in the day and warmer at night?

The clouds grow hotter at night to make up for the sun being down, and they are cooler during the day, because they block the sun.


Why does the moon get so hot during the day and so cold at night?

During the day the sun is out and shines on the moon, but at night the sun goes down, therefore the moon is dark when the sun is down.


Does it take a short time or a long time for the earth to cool?

The Earth formed 4.6bn years ago, and the temperature of the core is currently 5200°c, and it's projected to go cold in something like 90bn years time, which is irrelevant as the Sun will turn into a Red Giant in around 5bn years time, engulfing the Earth and completely destroying it, so to answer your question, it takes a VERY long time for the Earth to cool down- so long in fact, that it will actually NEVER cool down.


Why surface of moon is very hot during day and very cold at night?

The moon has no atmosphere. During the day, the sun beats down on it mercilessly - not "tamed" or "softened" by a layer of atmosphere. During the lunar night, the heat rapidly escapes into space, plunging the lunar surface several hundred degrees below zero. The moon's weather would be earth's weather too - except for our atmosphere.


Where does moon go in the morning?

My thought would be on the other side of earth or since they say that the sun is what gives light to the moon so that we are able see it, maybe moon doesn't receive the sun's light in the morning sometimes...
