What happens to the volume of solids liquids and gasses as they warm and cool?
Mostly they expand as they warm, contract as they cool.

Can solids be frozen?

Are frozen liquids solids?

Are all solids frozen liquids?

Are Jupiter's frozen gases solids?

Why do wires tighten up at night?
At night, there is no sun, thus there is no heat. When there is no heat, solids contract. The wires, being solids contract at night and in the morning, when there is heat, they sag.
Can fire be frozen?
No, because fire is buring gases. If the gases were frozen (therefore solids), it wouldn't make fire.
What happens to frozen water that is different from most frozen liquids?
Frozen water expands, while other frozen liquids contract.
Do liquids contract slower than solids when cooled?
yes they do
How can solids liquids and gases be made to contract?
By applying heat
Why do wires look different during the day and at night?
At night, there is no sun, thus there is no heat. When there is no heat, solids contract. The wires, being solids contract at night and in the morning, when there is heat, they sag.
