There are a variety of clouds that are occasionally seen above a desert:
Cumulus, including cumulonimbus
Stratus
Cirrus
Due to lack of humidity and cloud cover, the desert cools rapidly after sunset.
No, a desert cools faster than a swamp as it lacks humidity and cloud cover to hold in the heat from the daytime.
The Gobi desert is a very cold place because the Himalaya range blocks rain-carrying cloud from reaching the Gobi. So you rarely see snow in Gobi desert.
A desert usually has little cloud cover and high humidity that would hold in day time heating. Therefore, the desert cools quite quickly when the sun sets.
A desert will cool off much more quickly as there is little humidity or cloud cover that would hold in the heat of the day.
In the summer the sun passes almost directly vertical over the Sonoran Desert and there is little in the way of humidity or cloud cover to prevent the rays of the sun from striking the earth, heating it. The hor earth then heats the air directly above it.
The surface of the desert absorbs a great deal of solar radiation during the day. Since there is usually no cloud cover or humidity to hold this heat at night, the desert quickly radiates this heat back into space once the sun sets.
The high humidity and cloud cover of a swamp act as a blanket, holding in the day's heating. The desert lacks humidity and clouds so the heat radiates back into space.
Arizona typically has the least cloud cover compared to other states in the United States. Its desert climate results in clear skies and sunny days for most of the year.
Two images that occurred together to show the presence of God during the wandering in the desert were a pillar of cloud by day and a pillar of fire by night. These images provided guidance and protection to the Israelites as they journeyed through the desert.
Yes, there can be clouds in the desert. Cloud formation is based on various atmospheric conditions, not solely on the presence of moisture. Some deserts experience rain or snow, which can lead to the formation of clouds.
Usually very cold (no clouds to keep the warmth in) and windy.
