Why are the temperature on each of the other terrestrial planets more extreme than the temperature on earth?
Because there eather closer to the sun or farther way.
How does the moon temperature compare to earth's temperature?
the moon gets farther and closer to the sun than the earth because as you should know the planets roatate and when the moon of the earth is directed at the sun it is hotter than the earth because it is closer to the moon. and when the moon is on the oppsite side it is colder than the earth because the sun is farther away than the earth.
What happens to the earth orbit speed as it gets closer to the sun?
It increases.
What increases as an object comes closer to an observer?
red shift i think
What shift of color do you receive from stars as you get closer?
Blue shift as you get closer because by the Doppler effect, the frequency of the light increases, so the light seems more blue. Using the same logic, there is a red shift for light as you move away from stars.
Will sound travel faster in 58 degrees Celsius or 88 degrees Celsius?
58 degrees because it is closer to 69 degrees.
What happens to the altitude of polaris as you move west?
The angle of Polaris above the northern horizon increases.
What are the two main factors in temperature?
Latitude and altitude. Latitude is how far north or south you are from the equator, the closer to the equator you are the warmer it is. Altitude is how high from the earth's surface you are, the higher up you are the colder it is.
As the temperature difference between two points increases what happens to the spacing of the isotherms?
The isotherms get closer together
Why coldness increases as the altitude increases?
The air becomes thinner, thus it cannot retain heat as does heavier air. Also air closer to the earth's surface will be affected by the thermal mass of the earth, which retains heat.
Does pressure increase or decrease as you travel to the center of the earth?
It increases. The closer you get to the Earth's core - the higher the pressure (and temperature).
In what ways can geographic position be considered a temperature control?
Altitude: the higher you are, the cooler the air is, at least until entering the tropopause Latitude: the closer you are to the poles, the cooler the climate tends to be. Oceans: the closer to being downwind from an ocean or other large body of water, the closer the air is the temperature of the water surface. Further away, the air is more the temperature of the land which varies in temperature greatly.
Does the circumference decrease as the temperature increases?
It is actually the opposite. When the circumference is greater, you are closer to the equator therefore you are getting more heat. When you circumference decreases, you are closer to the poles and have less heat.
Why does temperature of a place depends on latitude?
Temperature depends on latitude because when you are closer to the equator it's hotter, but when're closer to the arctic circles it will be colder.
How does the latitude and altitude affect climate and vegetation in Europe?
Latitude and altitude can dramatically affect climate and vegetation. Climate and altitude both have an effect on temperature. This temperature is a big factor in what will grow and what will not.
What happens when the air temperature and the dew point temperature are close together?
When both come closer,relative humidity increases;When they are almost equal,condensation water vapour begins.
Why the speed of sound increases with rise in temperature of air?
Heat, or rise in temperature is caused by agitation of electrons. Agitated electrons are farther from the protons and neutrons. This makes them larger. Because heated atoms are larger, vibrations will pass through them faster. The atomic dominoes fall faster because they are closer together.
