View submission: Why does it get cold at night ?
It's mostly radiated out into space, and in the summertime some of it is conducted down into the ground where it is cooler. If you live near water some of it will be exchanged with the cooler air from over the water, where the surface does not get so hot. Basically the same as being conducted down into the ground but it happens faster with water because it is flowing. This is why islands don't have temperature extremes but places far inland like interior Canada and Siberia have horrible extremes.
There's nothing here!
