C. Summer
D. A times of heavy rain fall

Answer 1

A - Night time

They do this as the atmosphere tends to cool during the night

Answer 2

A. Night time

Step-by-step explanation:

During day time, when the sun rays fall on surface of Earth, major amount of rays are reflected back to upper atmosphere but some energy is absorbed by the surrounding.

This energy trapped in clouds and earth surrounding helps to maintain the temperature on surface during the night hours.

This trapped energy which is radiated by clouds is very important for the balanced temperature.
