Why do they measure temperature in the shade?
Direct sunlight would heat the thermometer higher than the actual air temperature. A reading would be more accurate if taken in the shade, where the temperature reading would not be greatly different.
How are the density and temperature of air related?
Higher temperature air is less dense.Less-Dense air has a higher temperature
How fast does gas travel through air?
at a speed of 332m/s at a normal surface temperature. it's taken as 330m/s for easy calculation...
What is air temperture?
The temperature of air.
When a volume of air is compressed what happens to its temperature?
Obviously the temperature of air will increase. Because when you compress the air you are doing some work on the air which in turn is converted into heat and thus increase the temperature of compressed air
Why do they measure temperature in the shade?

Why is it best to take temperature readings in the shade?
A thermometer is not kept in direct sunlight because the temperature needed to be recorded by the thermometer is of the air and not the rays of the sun.
Which weather tool measures air temperature?
The temperature of the air in the shade. The temperature of the air is a measure of the degree of molecular movement of all the Nitrogen and Oxygen molecules that largely make up air.
What is the place that is largely dependent on the temperature of air?

What is the temperature of the shade on the moon?
It like 20' on the moons shade
What is being measured by an outdoor thermometer?
If it's in the shade, then the temperature of the air that wafts past it is. If it's in direct sun, then it's displaying the temperature of the structure of the thermometer itself, as it absorbs direct solar radiation and its temperature rises above that of the air that wafts past it.
Must temperature be measured in the shade?
The answer depends on why you want to measure the temperature and what the object is. I cannot see any way of measuring the temperature of the surface of the sun in the shade!
What is the Temperature diff in the shade vs sun?
