Food and drinks cool or heat up due to the process of conduction. When food is left out, it loses heat to the surrounding environment through conduction, causing it to cool down. On the other hand, when a drink is left out, it absorbs heat from the surrounding environment through conduction, causing it to heat up. The rate at which this heat transfer occurs depends on factors such as the material of the container, the temperature difference between the object and its surroundings, and the surface area in contact with the surroundings.

Why does thermos keep hot drinks hot and cold drinks cold?

A thermos keeps hot drinks hot and cold drinks cold by using a vacuum layer between two walls of the container. This vacuum layer prevents heat transfer by conduction, convection, and radiation. The result is that hot drinks stay hot because heat loss is minimized, and cold drinks stay cold because heat gain is minimized.

Why is it that when you leave food out it turns cold but when you leave drinks out it turns hot?

Usually, food is heated to a temperature hotter than the temperature of a room, about 160F. and drinks are usually much cooler than room temperature around 45F or less. So both hot food and cold drinks will eventually equal the temperature of the space or room they are left in.
