What else can I help you with?
When you get higher in the atmosphere does the air get warmer or colder?
colder, the farther up you go, the lower the tempurature
Why is Aberdeen colder than Plymouth in winter?
Aberdeen is colder than Plymouth in the winter because Aberdeen is farther away from the equator then Plymouth, so the heat waves are smaller and less powerful.
Why does it get colder when you climb up a mountain and you're closer to the sun?
The air is thinner
Does cold air increase or decrease water density?
Cold air decreases water density because colder temperatures cause water molecules to move closer together, resulting in increased density. Conversely, warm air causes water molecules to expand and move farther apart, leading to decreased water density.
As you get higher in the atmosphere does the particles get closer together or farther apart?
the particles get closer together because my class just talked about that stuff!!
In hot air are particles closer together?
In hot air, the particles have higher kinetic energy, causing them to move faster and spread out more, resulting in a decrease in density and the particles being farther apart.
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
Why does air pressure usually goes up when the weather gets colder?
Air pressure typically rises when the weather gets colder because colder air is denser than warmer air. As the temperature drops, air molecules move closer together, increasing the weight of the air above and thus raising the atmospheric pressure. Additionally, colder air can hold less moisture, leading to clearer skies and more stable weather, which further contributes to higher pressure.
What is the relationship of molecules in a solid liquid and a gas?
gas- the molecules are farther apart since there is more space in the air solid- the molecules are closer together since it is in one specific area Liquid- the molecules can be farther or closer together depending on the volume of the liquid
Why do you feel colder in space although you are moving closer to the Sun?
We feel colder in space although we are reaching closer to the Sun because there is no air and no dust particles present in the space. So there is nothing to absorb the heat from the Sun and radiation process can't take place.
Why is it colder at the top of the mountain when the top is closer to the sun?
The top of a mountain is closer to the sun than the land around during the day it, but given that the sun is more than 90 million miles away, that difference is negligible. The higher you go up in the atmosphere, the colder it gets. This is because the air at high altitudes is less compressed than the air at low altitudes. When a gas is decompressed, it cools.
When air warms air particles move closer together?
When air warms up, the air particles gain energy and move faster, causing them to spread out and farther apart, not closer together. This increase in kinetic energy leads to the expansion of air molecules and a decrease in air density.
