Does thunder travel faster in a storm during winter or summer?

Sound travels faster in higher temperatures because in higher temperatures the molecules collide more often. Thus, as the temperature of the medium decrease, the speed of sound decreases. So in the summer.

Did echo be heard on a ho tter day?

An echo can be heard during a hotter day. In fact, soundwaves travel faster during hotter days so a person would hear the echo a lot sooner than they would on a really cold day.


What affects how sound is transmitted?

Sound can travel, more or less, through any matter, but not at all through a vacuum. The main factors that affect the speed of sound are as follows: Temperature: Hotter materials allow sound to travel faster Density: Sound travels faster in denser materials Elasticity: This means the ability for the molecules of a material to bounce back to their original positions quicky. The more elastic a material, the faster sound can travel through it.

Why does heat flow upward?

Answer: Only hot gasses travel upwards. This is because gas expands when it it heated and is therefore less dense. The more dense colder gasses are attracted more strongly by gravity so the hotter gasses are displaced.


How does the temperature changes as you travel up the atmosphere?

It gets colder as you travel up in the atmosphere.
