Because the particles, when they heat up, they vibrate and heat up, and when they stop heating up, well, it takes them a while to stop vibrating, and cool down.

Does a high specific heat allow water to heat slowly cool slowly or to do both?
I think the answer is cool slowly because if you left something that was hot out, it would cool.
What type of material retains heat the best?
insulators although they take a long time to heat up, it takes a longer time to cool down. that's why if you heat water in a metallic container it takes more time for the water to cool down than the coontainer.
Do the number of layers of insulation affect how quickly the water cools down?
yes it will cool down slower as the heat cannot get to the water as easily
When trees transpire releasing gaseous water into the atmosphere they can absorb heat from their environment and cool it down. What property of water is responsible for this activity?
Latent heat of vaporization.
Why do you say heat up and cool down instead of heat down and cool up?
To heat something means to bring the temperature up and to cool something means to bring temperature down. Hence the terms "Heat Up" and "Cool down". We actually do not need to add the up or down, as heat in itself means to rise, and cool means to lower. So instead of saying "I need to heat my food up", one could just say, " I need to heat my food".

Does a high specific heat allow water to heat slowly cool slowly or both?
the right answer is heat slowely
Why do later water bodies heat and cool more slowly than land masses?
it cools down beacuse the latitude if the water is closer to
How does tea cool down?
the steam rises slowly and it starts to loose its heat
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.
What is energy storage?
"Water absorbs heat and retains the energy for a long period of time. This allows living things to warm up and cool down slowly." -my textbook :]
What property of a surface determines how quickly or slowly it will heat and cool?
The thermal conductivity and color of a surface determines how quickly or slowly it will heat and cool
How does water cool hot things down?
Water absorbs heat from its surroundings - causing it to evaporate... taking the heat with it.
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.
Why is water often used to cooling systems?
This is because specific heat of Water is very less, so it is very easy to cool down water and it easily takes up heat from other sources to cool them down.
How do you heat treat or harden a metal chisel?
Heat the metal red hot. To harden the metal, cool it quickly by dunking it into cold water. To get a soft metal, let it cool slowly.
