The diagram shows the emission of absorbed solar energy as heat from Earth's surface on a clear winter night. heat
Meteorologists and climate scientists have noted that night time clouds can produce a warming effect at Earth's surface.
Based on the diagram, why will a cloudy winter night be warmer than a clear winter night?
O A Clouds absorb emitted heat energy and radiate it towards space.
O B. Clouds reflect heat energy emitted by Earth's surface back to the surface.
O C Clouds block incoming solar energy from reaching Earth's surface.
O D. Clouds use heat energy emitted from the surface to vaporize water droplets,
