The sun shines down and makes the sand in the desert very warm. Because the sand covers a big area, it gets really hot during the day. The hot sand then makes the whole desert feel hot.
When the sun goes down and the night begins, the sand stops getting heat from the sun. Because there is not much water or plants to hold the heat, the sand cools off very quickly. That makes the desert get cold at night.
