Is temperature increase or decrease when the door open of a refrigerator?

The air temperature will increase since the cold air will drop out of the fridge and be replaced by warmer air.


Does air become lighter as the temperature rises?

noThe density decrease when the temperature increase.


Does air pressure of a tire decrease as the temperature of the tire increases?

No. The pressure increases with temperature increase


When a volume of air is compressed its temperature does it increase or decrease or neither?

There is a thing called the "heat of compression" which causes all compressed substances to increase in temperature.


Why does temperature decrease with altitude increase?

because as you get higher into the air the air gets lighter and becomes cold


Why the density of air decrease with the increase in height?

Because the higher you go, the less air there is above to push down and compress the air around you.


How do you get from a liquid to a gas?

You must either increase the temperature of the liquid or decrease the pressure acting on the liquid (i.e., decrease the air pressure).


Troposphere increase or decrease in air temp?

The temperature of the Troposphere generally decreases as altitude increases.


What happens to air as temperature increases?

Air pressure rises and drops as the temperate changes because the higher temperatures weigh down the air to create low pressure. When it is cooler, the air can rise more which creates high pressure.


Why does density of air decrease with increase in height?

The density of air decreases with increasing altitude because air at high altitudes is under less pressure.


Does the speed of sound increase of decrease or remain the same when air temperature increases?

decrease because when temperature is low water is present in atmosphere which let sound to go fast


What effect does air density have on the absorption and radiation of energy?

An increase in air density will mean a decrease in the absorption and radiation of energy. An increase of air density causes temperature and pressure to rise.
