There is less temperature change near large bodies of water because it takes longer to warm up the water. A large body of water is denser than the air, therefore, near large bodies of water it will take a lot of energy and time to change the temperature.

The wind blows over the water, cool water creates cooler air temperatures.

because water absorbs heat when it evaporates, that's why you sweat.

When a cup is sweating is the water colder or warmer than the outside?

A sweating cup is colder than the air which surrounds it.


If a test tube is full of water at 20 digrese in time would the water continue to get colder?

The future temperature of the water depends upon the surrounding air's temperature. So if the air around the test tube is colder than 20 degrees, then the water will get colder. If the air temperature is warmer than 20 degrees then the water will get warmer.


Does warm air hold more water molecules?

Yes, warm air can hold more water (in the form of water vapor) than colder air.


When you breathe out on winter mornings your air is foggy?

Warmer air can carry more "dissolved" water(water wapour) than colder air can. When you breathe out moist, body-temperature air into colder air that excess water vapour condenses into tiny droplets, which create the fog that you see.


Does the amount of water vapor that a volume of air can hold decrease as air temperature rises?

No. It increases. Warmer air can hold more water than colder air.


What would happen if the air in the upper atmosphere were warmer than the water vapor that was continued in the air?

If the air in the in the upper atmosphere were warmer than the water vapor that was continued in the air would make the earth colder in the air.


Ice cubes form in the freezer because?

The freezer takes heat out of the air in it, and discards the heat elsewhere. As long as the air in the freezer is colder than the water in the ice-cube tray, heat flows out of the water into the air around it, and is removed by the freezer. If the temperature of that air happens to be lower than the melting/freezing point of water, then the water eventually freezes at some time during the process.


Why does sound carry so well on a lake?

Because of the density of water, it does not heat up as quickly when exposed to light, and is, therefor, colder than the air around it. This means that the water is constantly pulling heat energy from the air around it, making the air directly above a body of water colder than that above land, and because colder, denser air conducts sound more readily than warmer air, sound travels more efficiently over a lake than over land.


How much air is in hot water Is there more air in cold water under the same pressure of course?

Colder water can hold more oxygen than warmer water.


Colder air holds less moisture than warmer air?

If air is holding as much moisture as it can, colder air holds less than warmer.


Why is it cold near lakes?

The temperature of water changes much more slowly than that of air. Because of this, water in lakes is usually significantly colder than the ambient air surrounding it. The colder temperatures of the water will lower the air temperature in the immediate vicinity. (much in the same way of how it feels if you stand in front of an open refrigerator).


The bottom layer in a of air is colder than the air above it?

Colder air sinks downwards, as it is denser than warm air. It is denser/heavier than warm air because the molecules are more crowded than warm air.
