  1. Even after sunset, the air near the Earth’s surface continue to receive heat due to
    1. Insolation
    2. Terrestrial Radiation
    3. Conduction
    4. Convection
Correct Option: B

Even after the sunset when the sun goes down, the incoming radiation from the sun stops, but there is still a lot of radiation that has been absorbed by the earth, which is re-radiated in form of terrestrial radiation.Energy leaving the earth’s surface i.e. terrestrial radiation heats up the atmosphere more than the incoming solar radiation i.e. insolation
