Why does it get colder after sunrise?

I'm all warm and snuggly when I wake up, particularly if I'm with my snuggle bunny

It's also worth noting that cloud cover can have an effect on morning and night time temperatures.

Heat emitted from the earth's surface is trapped by clouds and re-emitted back down to earth.

That's why clear nights are much colder than cloudy nights.

Yes, I take a teddy to bed too. He's called Darwin.

Only joking. I know what you mean.

Why is it that when SHE says that everyone thinks she's a fucking METERIOLOGIST???

(When I SAID it they LAUGHED!!!)

Nic: "It doesn't help that you can't spell 'meterologist'???"

Me: "FIVE FUCKING YEARS HERE YOU COULD BE NICE JUST ONCE!!!"

Nic: "Yeah, I know..."

Me: "Sorry, was that you being nice?"

Nic: "No."

If meteorology is the study of the weather, what's the study of meteors called?

I've got a teddy! I think a lot of people have teddies and stuff. I have my original big bunny on my bookshelf in my old room at my parent's house too. He has to get a cuddle every time I go

tiddlywink has it with her first answer. It's just a specialization under astronomy.

Quote by BethanyFrasier
You're running. The sun comes up. You sweat. The sun creates thermals as heat rises off surfaces heated by the sun. Thermals create surface breezes, as cooler ground-level air rushes in to equalize the lower pressure created when the thermals rise from the surface. These breezes hit your sweating body and create wind-chill skin-cooling, which your body interprets as colder air.

Or...

You're just imagining it. :-)

Quote by 38clover
On a clear night (and usually calm), the air closest to the earth is coldest. Temperature readings are taken at a height of 1.2m (4 feet) above the ground. The temperature at 4 feet (for example) may be 14 degrees Fahrenheit, but a few feet lower, it may be 11 or 12 degrees. When the sun comes up, and starts to heat the earth, it causes the lower layers of the atmosphere above the earth to mix, so those 11 & 12 degree temperatures at just above ground level mix with the air a few feet above it. If you watch the thermometer, you will likely see the overnight low temperature occur within 15 minutes after sunrise due to this phenomenon.
