An air shower is an extensive cascade of ionized particles formed by the entry of a cosmic ray into the atmosphere.

Why do you get goose bump when you come out of the shower?

because when you take a warm shower, the air in your shower is really warm, and when you come out, the air (which is at room temperature) seems really cold compared to the air in your shower, so you get goosebumbs.


Why does a shower curtain move towards you during a shower?

The downward movement of the water in the shower creates downward movement in the air inside the shower area. Air flow causes low pressure and so the air pressure from outside the shower area is able to push the curtain inwards.

turn the hairdryer up a little you float in the air and you land on the shower


Why do toilet bubbles appear when I shower?

Toilet bubbles appear when you shower because the water pressure from the shower can create air bubbles in the plumbing system, causing air to be pushed through the pipes and into the toilet bowl.


Why will a shower curtain fly toward the shower when the shower is running and hang straight down when it is off?

When you have a hot shower steam is generated and, because it is warmer than the surrounding air, it rises. As the steam flows upwards, cooler air flows in to the lower level of the shower. If the shower is not fully enclosed, the steam will flow out the top of the shower area and the cooler air will flow in near the base of the shower. If the air cannot easily get around the curtain, it will push it inwards as it flows past. Ways to address this are:fully enclosing the shower to keep the steam inweighting the curtain basehaving significant gaps beside the curtain to let air inhanging the curtain so it is held against the shower base lip by its own weight by positioning the rail well outside (>100mm beyond) the line of the base. (This will mean that if the curtain swings outside the shower base it will drip on the floor, so needs a high lip to hold the curtain in.)This effect is caused by a small reduction in the air pressure of the column of air that is inside the shower curtain. The reduction is caused by the pressure of the water being sprayed out of the shower head having to drop from a higher pressure towards normal atmospheric air pressure. This effect is known as the Venturi Effect.The air does not quite reach normal atmospheric pressure until it gets out of the column of air formed by the shower curtain. Because that column of air is at a lower pressure than the air outside the curtain, the curtain gets pressed inwards by the higher (but normal) air pressure in the rest of the room.This effect happens the same no matter if the water temperature is hot, medium or cold.


How does condensation form while your in the shower?

Condensation forms in the shower when warm, humid air comes into contact with the cooler surface of the shower walls, causing the air to cool down and release moisture as water droplets. This process happens because warm air can hold more water vapor than cooler air.


Why the shower curtain tends to come near you when you open the shower on you while taking a bath?

Just static electricity. Spray it with warm water before you get in.Answer:The shower curtain comes in because of two factors.The shower water heats the air in the area inside the shower. Hot air is less dense than the cooler air in the rest of the room and so the denser air pushes the curtain in towards you.Secondly, if there is a gap at the bottom of the curtain, the warmer air rises to be replaced by the cooler air. The rising air exerts less lateral force on the inside surface of the curtain (Bernoulli's Principle) and the outer quieter air presses the curtain inwards.


Why toilet bowel sweat?

it could be condesation from moisture in the air if someone took a shower or got out of the shower and sat on it or sweat


Why do nipples stick out after your shower?

Because cold air hits them.


Why do mirrors steam up when you take a shower?

You have saturated the air in the shower with water and no more can be dissolved, so you get visible vapor. thx!


Why is there a cold breeze after you take a hot shower?

The cold breeze you may feel after taking a hot shower is due to the temperature difference between the warm, humid air from the shower and the cooler air outside the bathroom. This can create a slight draft or convection current as the warm air escapes and mixes with the cooler air, causing the sensation of a cold breeze.


What happens to a shower curtain when a shower is turned on?

Many people have tried to figure out exactly how and why this happens but no one has ever proven their theories conclusively. There are 4 leading theories. The first is the Buoyancy theory. Which says that as the hot air rises, and replaces the cold air, it creates a Coandă effect which is similar to a small vortex of air which sucks the curtain inwards. The second is the Bernoulli effect. This states that the air matches the velocity of the water coming out of the shower-head and lowers the air pressure inside the shower and against the inside of the shower curtain. This results in the shower curtain being pulled inward. The third is a combination of the first two. It's called the Horizontal vortex theory. A computer model showed that the water coming out of the shower-head can create a horizontal vortex (sideways tornado) which causes a pressure drop and pulls in the shower curtain. The fourth and final is simple condensation. A hot shower produces steam that will condenses on the shower side of the curtain and lowering the pressure there. The condensation will be continually replaced causing a temperature fluctuation which results in times where net steam production is negative. So there you have it. Who would have thought such a simple thing still remains partially unproven.
