Explain why a summer tan is only temporary?
Because the skin cells die and are exfoliated off.
What is does the word solstict mean?
Do you really mean solstice?If so, then 'solstice' refers to the summer/winter equinox that occurs twice each year when the sun is at it's greatest distance from the celestial equator.n.Either of two times of the year when the sun is at its greatest distance from the celestial equator. The summer solstice in the Northern Hemisphere occurs about June 21, when the sun is in the zenith at the tropic of Cancer; the winter solstice occurs about December 21, when the sun is over the tropic of Capricorn. The summer solstice is the longest day of the year and the winter solstice is the shortest.A highest point or culmination.
Explain why vapor pressure increases as temperature increases?
Vapor pressure increases as temperatures increase because water will evaporate in hot weather. This evaporation rises increasing the vapor pressure. This is why many areas have high humidity in the summer.
Name and describe the three kinds of heat transfer?
Conduction is heat transfer through a material as thermal energy moves from molecule to molecule through a substance; or from one object to an adjoining object. If you pick up the handle of a cast iron frying pan from a hot stove you'll experience conduction! The heat reaches your hand via conduction from the burner to the bottom of the pan through the metal handle to your hand.Heat is conducted through the ceilings, walls and floors of homes. Effective insulation slows conduction by keeping heat out during summer and in during winter.Convection is the transfer of heat by a liquid or gas (such as air). Circulatory air motion due to warmer air rising and cooler air falling is a common mechanism by which thermal energy is transferred. An open chimney flue provides a good example of convective heat loss during the winter. Warm air will rise up the chimney and cold air will fall down into the home. The energy used to warm the air that escapes is lost. The cold air must now be heated. The greater the temperature difference between the inside and outside of the home, and the larger the openings in the home, the easier it is for air to move and the greater losses you will have due to convection. Convective heat loss occurs through cracks and holes in the home and gaps and voids in ceilings, walls, and floors-and in the insulation. Convection also occurs if air can circulate through the insulation - if insulation is to be effective, it must prevent air from flowing easily through it. Properly applied insulation reduces convective heat loss by resisting and minimizing air movement.Radiant heat transfer occurs between objects that are not touching. The sun heating the earth is an example of radiant heat transfer. The sun warms the earth without warming the space between the sun and the earth. An example of radiant heat transfer is found in a typical attic during the summer. The sun radiates heat to the roof, which in turn radiates heat down toward the ceiling. If the insulation covering the ceiling does not effectively resist radiant heat transfer, then the ceiling will become increasingly warm - radiate heat down into the home - and the home will be uncomfortable. Properly applied insulation arrests radiant heat transferi forot
How does insulation keep temperature inside?
The same way a cover or even clothes help you hold in heat. Thermal insulation, which is in many homes and buildings, is believed by many to be the most common type of insulation. The design of thermal insulation is intended to decrease the transfer of heat between the interior of an edifice and the outside. Thermal insulation helps a building to maintain heat throughout the winter season. It also helps the building to remain cool during the summer months. Although, no material can completely hinder the transfer of heat from one area to another, there are; however, many resources that can slow down the transfer process.
Autumn occurs between summer and which other season?
Autumn occurs between summer and winter. Spring occurs between winter and summer. Autumn is a favorite of many because of the cool weather.
