How does air temperature over land and adjacent bodies of water change between day and night?
In the daytime the Sun heats up the surface of the Oceans slightly faster than the Earth's surfaces: it heats the air above and the Wind runs from the Land to the Sea. In the evening the Sun's warmth is retained in the mass of the Earth's surface longer than in the Oceans' bulk: it heats the air above and the Wind flows from the Sea to the Land.
Which would you predict would heat up faster on a sunny day-a pond or a meadow?
It would be the meadow that heats up faster. Why? This is because the land heats up faster during the day (sunny is the key word) than night. So the opposite would happen at night. The land cools slower. Hope this helped.
Why is it warmer in the day than the night?
It is warmer during the day because the sun heats the air.
What best explains why coastal regions generally have more moderate air temperatures than inland regions of the same latitude?
Every day the land heats much faster than the sea, and every night the land cools faster. When the land heats up, the air above it heats up as well. On the other hand, the ocean heats up and cools down relatively slowly. Therefore, areas near the ocean generally stay cooler during the day and have a more moderate temperature range than inland areas.
Why it is cooler at night than during the day?
During the day - the side of the Earth facing the Sun heats up - the portion facing away from the sun is in night time - and thus is not being heated... making it cooler !
What heats up the earth during the day and cools it down at night?
The suns radiation heats up the earth during the day
How does the Earth resist the heat from the sun?
Because the Earth rotates on its axis, any portion of the Earth experiences both night and day, and it heats up during the day and cools off at night.
Why does the earth's temperature rise during the day and fall at night?
During the day, Earth is exposed to the heat from the Sun and it heats up. At night it is in the shadow and it loses heat.

How does the temperature change from day to night in the desert?
Sunshine during the day heats the surface of the desert. That then heats the air above it. Since the desert has few clouds of high humidity to hold this heat after the sun sets, the heat radiates back into space and the desert cools down quickly.
Why does the water in a swimming pool feel cooler than air during the day but warmer than the air at night?
During the day - the side of the Earth facing the Sun heats up - the portion facing away from the sun is in night time - and thus is not being heated... making it cooler !
WOULD THE WIND CHANGE DIRECTION DEPENDING IF IT WAS NIGHT OR DAY?
Yes, this can happen. During the day the land heats and the air above it rises drawing cooler air in from over the ocean. During the night, the land cools while the ocean is warm, so the sir above the ocean rises and draws in the air from over the land.
Why deserts are very hot in day time but very cold in night?
Earth or ground heats up and cools off more rapidly than water. Large bodies of water act as a heat sink. Areas near a coast are cooled during the day by breezes from the water and are kept warmer at night from the heat coming off the water at night. Desert temperatures have a greater variation between night and day because there is no ocean or sea nearby to moderate the temperatures.
Which forms during the night because water cools slower than land?
fog
Why is it warmer in the day than the night?
It is warmer during the day because the sun heats the air.
What could be the problem if the airconditioning cools only during night time?
you probably needed recharging
