= __ WHY IS THE DESERT HOT ALL DAY BUT COLD ALL NIGHT? __ = = = = The sunlight provides most of the heat on the Earth’s surface. In the desert a lot of the sunlight heats the ground, which then heats the air. Since the desert has low humidity and lack of cloud cover, this allows all the heat from the day to recycle back into space. The dry air in the desert is not a good storage of medium for heat. So when the sun sets, the desert cools considerably because the dry air holds ittle heat. = = = = =

**Interesting Fact:**
 * Most of the animals in the desert are cold blooded. So they stay out in the heat to warm up, then at night they get so cold they barley move!**
