Question

HOTS
Why is the maximum temperature
of a day generally observed during
the afternoon while the minimum
temperature during the morning?​

Answer 1

Answer:

the maximum temperature of a day is generally observed during the day as direct sun rays fall on Earth in afternoon so the temperature is maximum whereas in morning the rays are slanting so the temperature is minimum

Answer 2

By the afternoon, the sun's heat has been building since noon, so and more heat is being sent at the surface than is leaving it. After 3 to 4 p.m., the sun is low enough in the sky for the amount of heat it is giving off to be greater than that incoming, and so temperatures begin to cool. But sometimes, highs can also occur in the evening, due to warm fronts sweeping in at the time. Then, by the next day, the cold front comes early, causing the low to be during midday, but this is rare. As for the low, same idea, the nighttime air continues to drop until the sun comes up, so the low is generally right before sunrise.
