What else can I help you with?
What causes heating of the troposhere?
the heat radiaton warms it.
How does thermal expansion work in thermometer?
As the indicator liquid in a thermometer gains heat when a room warms up, it expands, rising up higher and indicating the new, higher temperature from the increasing heat in the room.
What gets colder as it gets hot?
an air conditioner because it warms up to make cold air
Why does the temperature decrease as elevation increases?
The heat of the earth escapes through the atmosphere into outer space. Greenhouse gases interfere with/ clog up that process. The higher up in the atmosphere, the colder it is. So it is colder at higher elevations. Also, the low air pressure a sparsity of air particles cause the air to be thinner and colder
What happens to the density of the air as air on the surface of the earth warms?
The sun heats the surface of the Earth, and some of this heat goes into warming the air near the surface.
What are the two main sources of heat in the troposhere?
The two main sources of heat in the troposphere are solar radiation, which warms the Earth's surface, and the release of latent heat energy from water vapor condensing into clouds and precipitation.
How does a glass of lemonade become cold when you put ice on it?
The ice, which is colder than the lemonade, absorbs heat from it as it warms and melts.
Why would a soap bubble shrinks and vice versa when it takes from warm room to cold one?
This is the result of the volume of a gas being related to the temperature of a gas. The gas in the bubble expands when it warms and contracts when it cools. Similarly, the air in the room expands when it warms and contracts when it cools. So if the air in the bubble is warmer than the air in the room, the bubble gets bigger.
Does warm water stay at the surface of the ocean?
As water warms, it expands. Having expanded, it is lighter, and floats at the surface- where it may be warmed more by the sunlight.
Why is Kilimanjaro is capped with snow?
Mt. Kilimanjaro is very high. At high altitudes, it gets colder. That is because sunlight warms the ground which warms the air, so air that is very far from the ground tends to be cold. At when it is cold enough, you get snow.
Does water expand when it warms?
Usually, though from 0 to 4 degrees Celsius it actually contracts.
Is day or night colder?
Generally, night is colder than day. This is because during the day, the sun warms the Earth and its atmosphere, while at night, without sunlight, the Earth loses heat to space, causing temperatures to drop.
