Why does the sun heat the land up the most?
The sun heats land more because the rays of the sun do not bounce off or reflect the heat and that is why the sun hets land more.
What does the air that you live in receive its heat from?
The sun.
Why are water and air at the equator warmer than water and air at the poles?
Since the equator is the closest point to the sun on earth,that means the heat from the sun heats up the air and water there more than at the poles
What are land breezes caused by?
the difference in specific heat capacity between land and water
How does the sun drive convection currents in the ocean and in the atmosphere?
Mostly it is radiation from the sun. A little heat is conducted through the crust from the core of the Earth, but not enough to keep the planet livable. Convection in the atmosphere keeps the air mixed and spreads the heat coming from the sun to the night side of the planet.
Why does the sun heat the land up the most?
The sun heats land more because the rays of the sun do not bounce off or reflect the heat and that is why the sun hets land more.
How does land heat up?
Land heats up when waves of energy from the sun produce heat upon contact with the land's surface.
What are the 4 types of boundaries on earth?
Land,Water,Air and Sun(Heat)
Which absorbs heat from the sun more quickly?
air
Why is ocean water cold at day?
Water changes temperature much more slowly than air does. The land gets warmer as it absorbs heat from the sun, but the water is slower to absorb the heat, so it stays cooler than the land. However at night, the water retains more heat than the land, so that it will often be warmer than the surrounding air, at least for a while.
How does the land heat?
the sun
Why summer season is hot?
it is because the sun is directly in front of the part of earth we are living in during summer season. as a result the air and land recieve more heat from sun and as a resul, the summers become hot.
What happens when land gets hot?
Multiple things, conduction, convection, but the most important is radiation into space at night.
How the air heat?
by the sun
Why is the air colder than the land?
Water has a very high specific heat capacity, meaning it takes more energy to heat it up than most substances and it releases more energy than it heats down. Additionally, water can circulate, so that heat gets distributed to a greater depth than it can with solid earth. As a result, land heats up faster in the day and cools down more slowly at night than water does. For this reason, air over land tends to be warmer in the day an cooler at night than air over water.
Where does most of the air get most of its heat from?
The heating of the air is by radiant heat from the sun.
Does the sun heat air and hot air rise?
Yes on both counts. But hot air balloons need considerably more help - they use propane burners to heat the air inside the balloon.
