wrong, humidity is  the degree of wetness in the atmosphere, has nothing to do with heat, .

Answer 5

it takes a long time for heat to go away

Answer 6

The sun has shone on your little part of the world for at least 12 hours, heating the ground and water and buildings...this heat is lost gradually after sunset. The air around you cools much faster, so depending on where you are in the world, you will have heat or cold at night.

When I lived in arizona, it stayed over 80* all night long in summer and was often over 90 by 10 a.m.  The closer you are to water, the greater the humidity will be at night. During the day, water vapor in the air rises to make clouds and depending on your location, your life misereable in the summer. During the night, the air cools and this vapor will condense on any surface if the temp. gets to at least 60 degrees or lower. ...but no matter what, you will feel the humidity in the air at night if you live in an area close to water or green...as in, NOT the desert.

Answer 7

As the sun heats the earth during the day, things like buildings, sidewalks, and asphalt absorb heat.  Once the sun sets, they stop absorbing heat and start radiating it back to the atmosphere, which helps maintain the temperature.  

Factors like moisture in the atmosphere (humidity) affect the temperature, as well (a general indicator of how cool it CAN get at night is the dewpoint.  It won't get any cooler than that, although the numbers may change--they higher the dewpoint, the more humid and muggy it is).

Just so you know, in the winter, it gets colder at night because of a change in sun angle (less direct sunlight to heat the area of earth experiencing winter) and snow reflects much of the radiation that the would be absorbed by concrete (as do clouds)

Answer 11

some of the heat and humidity from the day is still kept in by our atmosphere which is why the temperature doesnt drastically change at night

Answer 12

not everything is instant, air moves around

Answer 13

humidness =]

Answer 14

i hope this is a joke.

humidity is mositure in the air!

and its still hot at night because this is the summer solstice!

Answer 15

During day time sun heats up everything all around. When the sun sets it doesn't carry away the heat alongwith it but it is left behind as residue. This residue heat is the cause of hotness at night.

Answer 16

Oh my...  

Answer 17

dayyyum [:

all these sophisticated answers

haha

people take this so seriously  

haha

i lahhhhh you(:

Answer 18

That's because clouds can act like a blanket. The clouds can keep a good chunk of sunlight out during the day, keeping us cooler in the afternoons. But the clouds will also trap in whatever warmth we get during the day, keeping us warmer at night.

Answer 19

I don't know but I'm suffocating...

...helpp........help......no wait...... save yourself..... its my time....

Answer 20

humidity..

Answer 21

H*** no.

Answer 22

durring the day, the earth collects and stores the suns energy all day long.  And at night, a lot of the heat your feeling is the earth just releasing the stored up heat.  Also, If you have a wind out of the south, often that can make it a little hotter.  But most avarage nights do cool down some,

The only exceptions to it are if it was cloudy and cold durring the day cause of rain or something, and than at night the rain clears up and the south wind blows, than you could actually have it warmer at night than the day, but for the most part, it does cool off some.

And also, just a note, Humidity is not effected by the sun.

The dew point is, Kinda, but not humidity.

Answer 23

wrong

Answer 24

It's the gnomes and their machines, they live underground and the heat rises up through the surface of the earth.

Answer 25

The ground and air absorbs the heat throughout the day and its released back into the air!  

Answer 26

because im around. *wink*
