Why does sun gives us heat at night?

Question

Well,there are some hot nights in summer.And considering night is a big shade of earth,how does the sun gives heat,10 hours/day.(My prepositions suck)

Answer 1

Remember that the sun is always shining somewhere on earth, so you can get warming effetcs through the wind or the ocean even if it's night where you are. But most of that nighttime heat isn't from the sun directly. It's the heat that the earth has absorbed during the day being slowly released at night. In cities or areas with lots of pavement, buildings, etc, more heat is absorbed and the nights are warmer.

Answer 2

During the daytime, a lot of the heat energy coming from the sun is absorbed by the ground and by bodies of water. At night, the ground and water radiate that heat out to the air, which makes the air warmer.

Answer 3

heat doesn't dissapate immediately upon sunset. Weather patterns carry heat, the ground dissipates heat slowly. If the sun were to suddenly dissapear from the solar system, it will take some time before the earth freezes over and reaches close to 0K
