Why is it the coldest temperature right as the sun is coming up as opposed to 12- 3 am when its the darkest?

The amount of heat reaching the ground from the sun is very close to zero from sunset until sunrise. Once the sun is fully above the horizon the average heat from solar radiation increases smoothly until noon and then decreases in the same way but, once the sun is fully below the horizon, the heat drops to practically zero. This means the temperature keeps decreasing until at least sunrise, on average.
