Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Dew forms when the temperature of the ground and objects at the surface cools to the dew point temperature. This temperature is dependent on the amount of moisture in the air. A clear night allows for greater surface cooling because there are no clouds to trap heat. An open field allows for more air circulation and cooling of the ground, and wind mixes the air and reduces the formation of dew. Therefore, all three options (A, B, and C) increase the likelihood of dew formation.
