Cold air radiates heat even in a seemingly passive state because all objects, including air, emit infrared radiation as a result of their temperature. This radiation occurs regardless of whether the air is actively moving or not.

Why is your house warm on a cold day even though you haven't turned on the heat?

The heat from the sun naturally warms up the materials in your house, which then radiate heat into the air. This process, called passive solar heating, helps keep your house warm even when the heating isn't turned on. Additionally, your house might have good insulation that helps retain heat.

Why are nights cold in deserts?

Nights in the desert are not necessarily cold but they are much cooler than during the day. The lack of cloud cover and low humidity cause the daytime heat to quickly radiate back into space after the sun sets. There is nothing to hold in the heat at night.
