  1.     morning 
  2.     night
  3.     evening
  4.     afternoon 
 Discuss Question
Answer: Option A. -> morning 
:
A

The lowest temperature of a day generally occurs early in the morning, around sunrise.
This is because, during the night, in the absence of the Sun, heat is continuously lost by the Earth surface. Because of this the temperature drops. When the Sun rises, its rays do not reach us directly as a result, the temperature continues to fall further. Once the Sun's rays start becoming more direct, the temperature will begin to increase once again.

 Discuss Question
Answer: Option A. -> Sun
:

Sun is the central ball of fire around which all planets move. The weather conditions on earth change depending on the amount of sunlight reaching the earth. The tilt of Earth’s axis relative to its orbit around the Sun results in changes in the duration of daylight and the amount of sunlight received at any place throughout the year. These changes cause the annual cycle of seasons. Therefore, we experience different weather conditions.​
