MaxineOn a clear night, temperatures tend to drop more rapidly as heat escapes into the atmosphere. Cloudy nights act as a blanket, trapping some heat and causing temperatures to not drop as much as on clear nights. This can result in warmer temperatures on cloudy nights compared to clear nights.

Why is it clear night is more cooler than a cloudy night?
During a clear night, heat from the surface of the Earth radiates out into space since there are no clouds to trap it. Clouds act as a blanket, trapping heat near the surface and preventing it from escaping, which leads to warmer temperatures on cloudy nights compared to clear nights.
Why are cloudy night warmer than clear night?
because of the greenhouse effect
How does a cloudy night and a clear night relate to the greenhouse effect?
Both water vapor and clouds are great greenhouse gasses, they block the loss of heat into outer space (at night).
Why is it more likely to be a frosty night in winter if the sky is clear?
When sky is clear the heat from earth will radiate to space and cool the night air faster. If cloudy the heat radiated is reflected back from clouds and it does not get so cool
Why are there different temperature difference between day and night?
The sun provides warmth during the day, while the temperature drops during the night when the sun is gone.
