Why does the earth not lose its heat as quickly as night as the moon does?
This is because the moon is formed of rock and it can become cooler not like Earth surface of 70% water and 30% land.
Did the moon lose its volcanic activity because of its weak gravity?
No. The moon lost its volcanic activity because it is much smaller than Earth and so lost its internal heat more quickly.
What if the moon were farther from the earth?
the earth would not be as bright at night, and would possibly lose its gravitational pull from earth.
What patterns can you see in winds that occur near water?
Near large bodies of water you get "on-shore" and "off-shore" breezes. They're caused by the difference in the rate that land and water gain and lose heat. Water is slower to gain heat, but also slower to lose it. Land is quicker to gain heat, and quicker to lose it. So, say for example, it is summer in Florida. The water is about 80 degrees F. The sand will be over 100, and the land in general will be in at least the 90s. This difference makes the breeze go from the water to the land. At night, the land cools off more quickly and becomes cooler than water, so the breeze reverses.
Why is the moon smaller than the sun?
As objects get smaller, the ratio of surface area (heat loss to space) to volume (heat retained) gets larger. It is easier for the Moon to lose heat to space. Next, the Moon has no atmosphere to act as a blanket to prevent heat loss to space. Finally, the Moon is formed of lighter materials than the Earth proper, perhaps lighter materials from Earth. This means Earth's core has more heavy elements, that appear to actually be radioactive, heating the Earth's core.

If something is conductor of heat does it lose heat fast or slow-?
If something is a good conductor of heat then it will lose heat slowly. If something is a poor conductor of heat it will lose heat quickly.
Wet or dry organism lose heat quickly?
If organisms are wet they may tend to lose heat more quickly. The dry organism is more likely to such up the heat and maintain the heat within the organism.
Why is the sand at the beach warm during the day and cool at night?
Sand (minute pieces of stone, basically) will very quickly absorb the heat of the sun and will then quickly get hot. As soon as the sun disappears, the sand will quickly lose its heat and become cool to the touch.
What gains and loses heat much more quickly than?
There are a great many things that gain and lose heat. Metals for example gain and lose heat much more quickly than gasses.
Why does the land lose heat more quickly at night than a body of water does?
bodies of water tend to have more object in and animals that produce their own heat. it also absorbs heat faster than land. water actually would lose heat faster if it didn't gain it faster. It's a more precarious kind of substance than earth is. but heat from the light reflecting off the moon and the fish in the water slow the temperature drop.
Did the moon lose its volcanic activity because of its weak gravity?
No. The moon lost its volcanic activity because it is much smaller than Earth and so lost its internal heat more quickly.
What if the moon were farther from the earth?
the earth would not be as bright at night, and would possibly lose its gravitational pull from earth.
What would happen to the global winds if no more heat energy reached earth?
We would lose heat and have more energy
What would happen to global winds if there was no more heat energy reached earth?
no more winds and we'd lose heat
How do you tell if a water pump is bad?
you will lose coolant quickly and ur car will heat up sooner or later
What is the best way to lose weight quickly you are 23 and weight around 86 kg?
There is no healthy way to lose weight quickly. The fastest way you can lose weight is eat well, sleep at least 8 hours each night with no interruptions and excercise regularly.
