When does a land breeze occur?
Understand the Problem
The question is asking about the phenomenon of land breeze, specifically when it occurs. A land breeze typically occurs at night when the land cools faster than the sea, causing the air above the land to be cooler and denser than the air above the sea, resulting in a flow of cooler air from the land to the sea.
Answer

Land breezes occur when the land's nighttime temperature is less than the sea surface temperature, most commonly during the evening and nighttime.
