What is the air surrounding a planet?
The air surrounding a planet is called the "Atmosphere."
Heated air that is lighter than the surrounding air will?
spread out
When a balloon rises high into the air it will expand and often will burst why?
A combination of heat from the sun and the lower pressure of the surrounding air the higher you go, causes the gas in the balloon to expand. Along with the sunlight weakening the balloon material, it will burst.
How does the flame in an hot air balloon enable the balloon to float in the air?
The flame heats the air contained in the balloon. This causes the air to expand, thus it becomes less dense than the air surrounding the balloon. Once the air in the balloon is sufficiently less dense than the surrounding air to overcome the weight of the balloons materials, it will lift into the air.
What makes hot air balloon rise?
Hot air rises. As the air in the hot air balloon is made hotter than the surrounding air it rises.
How can heat be produced by bolt lighting?
a flash can heat the air around it to temperatures five times hotter than the sun's surface. This heat causes surrounding air to rapidly expand and vibrate, which creates the pealing thunder we hear a short time after seeing a lightning flash
When water evaporate it heat energy and the surrounding air?
when water evaporates it absorbs heat energy and cools the surrounding air
Why does heat go from a hot place to a cooler place?
It loses heat to the surrounding air.
How does the sun heat the air surrounding earth?
because its really hot it uses its heat
Why is paper a insulator?
It creates a shield of air to keep the heat in and surrounding cool air out.
How does the freezing proccess work?
The water loses heat to the surrounding air.
Why is paper a good insulator?
It creates a shield of air to keep the heat in and surrounding cool air out.
Explain the tire becomes warm when air is being pumped into it?
when air is compressed it heats up because the uncompressed air contains heat. Heat is a form of energy that's all around us even in the coldest winter. Cold is void of heat, cold is caused by the lack of heat energy. That being said, when you compress air containing heat, the heat is also compressed. This causes the tire and the air inside to be warmer that the surrounding area till the heat is dissipated to the surrounding area. The tire and it's air inside becomes the same temperature as the surrounding space. Just remember, heat is a form of energy.
What is it called when heat diffuses off an object into the surrounding air?
Thermal radiation is when heat diffuses off hot surfaces
What happens when you add heat to air in a balloon?
The air warms and expands, becoming lighter than the surrounding air, thus lifting the balloon.
As air rises and expands does it undergo advective cooling?
No. It undergoes convective cooling, rising and losing heat to the surrounding air.
What happen to the large amount of heat in the hot lava?
The heat dissipates into the air, surrounding rock, or water if the lava comes in contact with it.
