The primary cause of a radiation inversion is?

The primary cause of a radiation inversion is when the Earth's surface loses heat rapidly at night, causing the air near the surface to cool and become denser. This denser air forms a layer close to the ground, trapping cooler air below and warmer air above, resulting in an inversion layer.

If something is warmer will it evaporate quicker?

Yes, warmer temperatures can cause liquids to evaporate more quickly because the higher energy levels make the molecules move faster, leading to more frequent collisions with the surface and thus increasing the rate of evaporation.

Is the sun a cause of the clouds?

Indirectly, yes. The sun heats the surface of the Earth, including bodies of water. Water evaporates and air near the surface becomes warmer. The warm air rises, cooling as it does so. The moisture then condenses to form clouds.
