What is the difference in temperature on a clear night and cloudy night?

On a clear night, temperatures tend to drop more rapidly as heat escapes into the atmosphere. Cloudy nights act as a blanket, trapping some heat and causing temperatures to not drop as much as on clear nights. This can result in warmer temperatures on cloudy nights compared to clear nights.

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.


Is it true that nighttime air temperatures on a cloudy night are lower than they would be on a clear night?

Typically, nighttime air temperatures on a cloudy night are higher than they would be on a clear night. This is because the surface of the earth radiates back heat toward the sky. If the sky is clear, much heat can be lost. However, if it is cloudy, it can keep some of that heat back in. Making the temperatures warmer.


Why it is usually colder in clear nights than on nights witch cloudy skies?
