1. Dewdrops typically fail to form on a cloudy night mainly because?

Clouds absorb and reflect back the Earth’s own radiated heat, keeping the ground warmer

The Earth’s surface has an especially low temperature on cloudy nights

Clouds physically block the wind from reaching ground level

Clouds actively cool the Earth’s surface directly

Clouds trap and reflect radiated heat back toward the ground, keeping the surface warmer than on a clear night. Dew needs the ground to cool enough for water vapour to condense, which clouds prevent.
