When air evaporates it absorbs the heat of evaporation of water from the air, thus cooling it. When the air is at or below the dew point temperature, water no longer freely evaporates from it; thus this heat is no longer being absorbed from the air.

Why do things cool down more slowly if they are wrapped?
Whatever it is wrapped in slows the loss of heat. It acts as an insulator.
When a parcel of air reaches its dew point the process of what begins?
The process of air reaching its dew point is called condensation. As the air pressure reaches the dew point, the humidity increases.
Why should Recrystallization cool slowly?
when something cools more slowly the crystals are larger. Therefore it is harder and less easy to break. Slowly grown crystals also are less prone to defects in their structure.
Why does food cool to room temperature?
The surrounding air works with the hot food, cooling it off. This is because heat naturally wants to escape and cool off. Once it reaches air temperature, it cannot physcially cool off any more, though.
What zone does the warm are rise and cool and the cool air sinks?
Warm air molecules are fast moving and therefore less dense than cold air molecules. Since cold air is more dense (more slowly moving) it sinks.
Does water cool more slowly than land does?
Yes
Why does ascending saturated air cool more slowly than ascending unsaturated air?
Saturated air contains relaitvely higher amount of water molecules. Thus it requires much time to cool. Whereas in case of unsaturated air, the number of water molecules are less. So, it's much obvious that lesser amount of water molecules require less time to cool.
Why does the ocean heat and cool more slowly than the atmosohere?
Because it has more thermal capacity.
What happens when a solution reaches the saturation point?
Saturation is the point a solution reaches where no more solute will dissolve in the solvent.
Why does the ocean heat and cool more slowly than the atmosphere?
The ocean has a higher heat capacity.
Why can bodies of water create microclimates?
They cool and heat more slowly than the land around them
Why can bodies of water create microclimimate?
They cool and heat more slowly than the land around them.
Why does the ocean heat and cool more slowly than the atmoshpere?
the ocean has a higher heat capacity
Why do things cool down more slowly if they are wrapped?

What happens When water at 0 degree centrigrade is heated?
It melts if has frozen, but far more interestingly, the volume of the water contracts until the temperature reaches 4 degrees C. That is the point of maximum density of water. Once past 4 C, the volume increases slowly (as the density declines) with more added heat.
When a parcel of air reaches its dew point the process of what begins?
The process of air reaching its dew point is called condensation. As the air pressure reaches the dew point, the humidity increases.
A consists of a period of non-strenuous activity that slowly prepares the body for more vigorous exercise?
