What is mean radiant temperature?

The mean radiant temperature is the average effect of radiation from surrounding surfaces. At the center of the room this temperature can be taken as being equal to the mean surface temperature


What is the effect of increase of temperature on surface tension?

Surface tension decreases as temperature increases.

How does an electric fan give cooling effect on a hot day?

The cooling effect is from evaporation mainly. The fan moves an increased amount of air and speeds the evaporation from the skin or other moist surface. A fan blowing on a dry surface will have no cooling effect more than the average temperature of the air. Secondly, another cooling effect happens if the outer temperature is under 36C degree by pushing the hot (36C degree hot) air away from the surface over the surface of body and exchange it by a lower temperature one.


What is the effect of surface temperature on fingerprints?

I had to complete a science fair project in high school about the effect of surface temp on fingerprints. My results showed that the colder the surface temperature, the more likely you are to see the fingerprint.


Does glass temperature effect a fingerprint?

Yes. The colder the surface temperature, the more clearer the fingerprint will be. The warmer the surface temperature, the less clear the fingerprint will be.


What is the green house effect's effect on the Earth's average temperature?

The Earth's mean temperature will rise.


How does the inner planets distance from the sun relate to the average surface temperature of the planet?

You might expect a planet to be hotter if it's nearer the Sun. This is true apart from Venus, which is the exception. Venus has a higher average surface temperature than Mercury. We believe this is because of the "greenhouse effect" of the atmosphere of Venus.


If there was no greenhouse effect would you burn or freeze?

You would freeze. The earth would be pretty well frozen over. The average surface temperature would be about -4 degrees Fahrenheit if there were no greenhouse effect.


Are there any longterm effect of bubonic plague?

Yes. Death, which is permanent.


The high surface temperatures of this planet have been attributed to the greenhouse effect?

Venus has a very thick atmosphere of Carbon dioxide. Its average surface pressure is a crushing 93 bar, or 93 times that of Earths. Venus is the hottest planet, as it is close to the sun, but additionally, its thick arbon Dioxide atmosphere holds the heat very effectively like an oven - or greenhouse.
