To clear up a misconception, the morning is going to be cooler than the evening even if the sun is the same brightness. The earth is a giant rock and when you heat a rock up it will stay warm for a while. A rock that’s been sunbathing all day is going to be hotter than a rock that has had a whole night to chill off.
Imagine you have a pot of water on a gas stove, and you gradually crank up the gas until it’s at full blast. Then you gradually crank the gas down until its off. Even though the gas is off, the water will still be warm for some time, because it takes time for the heat to escape.
