Because water has a high specific heat content (~4200 J/kg/K ) which means it takes a lot of changes in heat (i.e. energy flux, whether it's heating from the sun, or lost of heat through latent heat flux, sensible heat flux etc) to get a degree of temperature change

How can I ensure that my leopard gecko stays warm at night?

To ensure your leopard gecko stays warm at night, provide a heat source like an under-tank heater or ceramic heat emitter in their enclosure. Use a thermostat to regulate the temperature and make sure it stays between 70-85F (21-29C) at night. Avoid using heat lamps at night as they can disrupt your gecko's sleep cycle.

Why does your laptop get hot in the day and stays cool at night given that you are using it for the same periods of time?

The laptop generates the similar amount of heat if usage is same during day and night time. The temperature you feel on the machine is more to do with the ambient temperature. The air and surrounding temperature in general is more during the day time compared to night. As per principles of thermodynamics the amount of heat energy that can be transferred from one thing to another depends on the difference in temperature between the two. During night time surroundings are cooler and the laptop's cooling mechanism and body is able to transfer more heat to the ambient compared to day time and stays cooler. - Neeraj Sharma
