Question

– Why does it sometimes become colder in the morning just as the sun comes up?

In: Earth Science

Answer 1

The ground loses heat more readily than the air, so ground level is cooler than at head hight. When the sun rises the ground warms a bit but has a layer of cooler air next to it. As the ground warms it heats the cool air and cause them to rise, thus giving the feeling of cooler air all around until the air normalizes by warming up more.
