Why does a silver earring get hotter than the earlobe does when blow drying hair?
Silver being metal and having low specific heat gets hotter soon than fleshy earlobe.
How do you differentiate a metal from a nonmetal using instrument?
A metal conducts heat better than a nonmetal. If you put a metal and a non-metal in boiling water for the same amount of time, the metal will be hotter than the non-metal. If you put a metal and non-metal in ice water for the same amount of time, the metal will be colder than the non-metal. Also, metal conducts electricity better than non-metal. You can use metal and non-metal wires to conduct a battery, and see which one works better.
Why does a metal bench feel hotter than a wooden bench when they are under the sun?
This is all down to how good a material can conduct heat. Metals conduct heat much more readily than wood. This means that if you were to heat the ends of 2 identically sized rods, 1 of steel and 1 of wood, (think of 12" steel and wooden rulers) the heat would travel down the steel ruler faster than the wooden one. So back to the bench - there are 2 things happening to make the metal bench feel hotter. 1) The heat from the sun would heat the metal faster than the wood because of the good conductivity of the metal, so the metal could actually be hotter. 2) If the metal and wooden benches had been in the sun long enough for them to have reached the same temperature, then because the metal conducts heat better than the wood, when you touch the metal bench it "feels" hotter because the metal is far better at transferring the heat away from itself and into your hand than the wooden bench is. This also works for cold items. A card/paper carton of juice taken from the fridge does not feel as cold as a metal can of drink standing next to it, again this is because the metal conducts heat better than the card/paper.

Why does they metal pan feel much hotter than the wooden handle?
Metal transfers heat better than cake, which is what make you feel more of the temperature.
Why is the metal spoon more hotter than the woden spoon?
This is due to metal being a better conductor, and therefore it transfers kinetic energy (heat) better.
What is a clue to a stars temperature?

Why is seatbelt is required for every vehicles?
It is for your safety. More people without a seatbelt die in car accidents than with seatbelt. So I require to use the seatbelt. See here for more information about seatbelt usage: How_much_does_it_cost_to_replace_a_window
