my parents didn't know so i looked it up. they (the computer) just said it was diffusion. but is that really true? 'cause i thought that all of our eyes were playing tricks on us. or is it really diffusion? if you know what it is just tell me.

Why does the road look wet on a hot day?
The road looks wet because of diffusion. See the attached link. Harvard "Hot Road Mirage" http://www.fas.harvard.edu/~scdiroff/lds/LightOptics/HotRoadMirage/HotRoadMirage.html
Which has less friction a dry road or wet road?
a wet road also see hydroplaning
How does wet roads help racing cars?
It doesn't wet roads take traction away from racing cars. Race cars are fastest with slick tires, when the road is wet it forces them to use threaded tires to dissplace the water. If the racers want to slide easily around corners that the wet road would be helpful
What biome does the catfish live in?
the biome of a far far away place with fairy's a princesses :) have a nice day yall
Which has less friction a dry road or a wet road?
A wet road has less friction since the water acts as a lubricant.
Why is keeping the road clean important?
"Road Grime" builds up, it is the result of exhaust, tire wear, oil leaks... It can make the road slippery and treacherous, especially when the road is also wet. This is why the first minutes of a rainstorm are particularly dangerous -- the rain is washing the grime away, but for a short while it is making it wet and slippery. Road cleaning helps control this.
To slide on a wet road surface?
When you slide on a wet road surface you are aquaplaning, also known as hydroplaning.
Distance between 2 cars while driving?
The distance between two cars while driving should be at least 2–3 seconds of following distance under normal conditions. This allows enough time to react to any sudden stops or changes in traffic flow. It is important to increase the following distance in adverse weather conditions or when driving at higher speeds.
Why is a wet surface is a better reflector when it is wet?
because the rough surface is wet and a road is not :)
What happens when a car stopping distance when a road gets wet?
Less traction on a wet road so the stopping distance increases.
When the road is wet it takes times longer to stop?
Yes. There is less frictional force between the car tyres and a wet road surface than with a dry road surface.
Is road slippery after a long rain?
Definitely because it's wet so, we must take an extra careful in driving a wet road.
