Temperatures gradually become cooler as you go toward the poles because they don't get enough sunlight to warm up, so they stay cold.

Why do temperature become cooler when you go toward the poles?

the sun is at a different angle and affects that part of the earth in a different way. this will change throughout the world around the year


What temperature will the sun have when it gets really old?

As the sun expands late in it's life, it's outer shell will gradually cool and become redder. The sun's surface temperature right now is about 11-12,000 degrees Fahrenheit. It will gradually cool to about 5,600 - 6,000 degrees Fahrenheit toward the end of it's life.


Will sound waves that move from a zone of warmer water into a zone of cooler water will bend toward the cooler water?

Yes, sound waves moving from warmer water to cooler water will bend toward the cooler water. This phenomenon occurs because sound travels more slowly in cooler water than in warmer water. As the sound wave enters the cooler region, its speed decreases, causing the wave to refract and bend toward the cooler area. This bending is a result of the change in temperature and the associated change in sound speed.


How do a cooler know how to keep hot food hot and cold food cold?

Coolers are equipped with a very elegant temperature regulation mechanism. A thermocouple implanted in the cooler insulation detects temperature gradients between the interior and exterior surfaces of the cooler. If the initial gradient is measured to be rising in temperature toward the center of the cooler, the cooler insulation automatically orients itself to reflect heat back toward the center of the cooler, thereby keeping the contents warm. Conversely, if the temperature gradient detects that the contents of the cooler are cold, the insulation reverses its orientation to deflect exterior heat and preserve the colder temperatures on the inside of the cooler. All of this is accomplished through the use of a non-newtonian polymer embedded with thermo-sensitive alloys which alter their magnetic polarity to align with termperature gradients. As the temperature gradient changes so does the magnetic polarity which alters the insulation alignment in the appropriate direction. A competing theory is that coolers do not "know" to keep food hot or cold, rather they are insulated and there-by stablilize the temperature and prevent it from changing. If you place hot items in an insulated container they will stay hot, cold items will stay cold.


What is the cause of seabreeze?

Seabreeze occurs because cooler air from the ocean moves toward warmer air over land mass. The air over ocean is cooler due to its higher capacity to absorb heat and thus the temperature increases slowly compare to the air over land surface.


What happens during the at the beach?

The water is cooler than the land, and wind blows toward the water


When air moves away from the tropics and toward the poles it becomes .?

cool and dry


both warm air and warm water generally flow from where?

Both warm air and warm water generally flow from areas of high temperature to areas of lower temperature. This movement occurs due to differences in density, with warmer air and water being less dense and rising or moving toward cooler regions. In the atmosphere, warm air rises and creates areas of low pressure, while in bodies of water, warm water tends to rise to the surface or flow toward cooler areas. This principle drives weather patterns and ocean currents.


What takes the place of warm air?

As the warm air rises and moves toward the poles,cooler air moves from the poles toward the equator to replace it. Resource:Factors of Weather:Air movement Close to the Earth (science sheet)


Why is it cooler at the beach during the day?

Usually a beach has a breeze blowing in from the ocean. This movement of air can cool your skin and make the temperature seem less. I would think that the air is still in the morning and as the sun heats up the air and land, this results in movement of the air.
