Answer:
1. Noon is hotter than morning because atnoon, the sun is vertically over head. There are the vertical rays of the sun at noon and the slanting rays in the morning.
2. Clouds affect the radiation balance and thus the temperature in the atmosphere. During the day when the sun shines, clouds keep radiation from the sun out by reflecting it back to space (as clouds are white, they are pretty effective at it). ... This is whyclear nights are colder than cloudy nights
3. During the day, the land surface heats up faster than the water surface. Therefore, the air above the land is warmer than theair above the ocean. Now, recall thatwarmer air is lighter than cooler air. As a result, warm air rises.
Answer: 1. The sun is overhead at noon. The Sun rays are almost vertical. But in the morning and evening, the angle of Sun rays is oblique. ... As the vertical rays give more heat per unit area, the noon is hotter than morning and evening.
3. During the day, the sun heats up both the ocean surface and the land. Water is a good absorber of the energy from the sun. The land absorbs much of the sun's energy as well. However, water heats up much more slowly than land and so the air above the land will be warmer compared to the air over the ocean.
