it heats up much faster, the specific heat value of water is very low, and the specific heat value of land is almost always higher than that of water.

Why do wet clothes dry quickly on a sunny day?

Wet clothes dry quickly on a sunny day because the sunlight provides heat energy to the water in the clothes, causing it to evaporate more rapidly. The warm, dry air also helps to carry away the moisture from the clothes, further aiding in the drying process.


Does hot water cool down quicker when you blow on it?

Yes, blowing on hot water can help it cool down faster because it increases the rate of evaporation at the surface of the water, which leads to faster heat loss. The movement of air helps carry heat away from the water more quickly.


Does Water at 0 degrees Fahrenheit have no heat energy or molecular activity?

Water at 0 degrees Fahrenheit still has heat energy and molecular activity, but it is in a solid state as ice. The molecules are still vibrating, just at a much slower rate compared to when water is in a liquid state.


What is the difference in temperature between land and water surfaces?

As I've learnt, in summer the ocean will absorb heat slower than the land, so the ocean and coastal area will hv a relatively cooler temperature compare with the inland area. However in winter, it will be slightly different. In winter, the land release the temperature rapidly, so the temperature drops. And meanwhile the ocean release heat in a very slow speed, so the ocean stays warm, so the warmer the temperature in the coastal area compare with the inland areas. hope i solve your problem


How is earth's interior like a stove burner?

The Earth's interior is like a stove burner because both have layers of different materials that generate heat. In the Earth, the heat is generated by radioactive decay and leftover heat from its formation, while in a stove burner, the heat is generated by burning fuel or electricity. Just like a stove burner, the Earth's heat comes from its core and moves outwards towards the surface.

no it just heats the water and if you want it can heat the radiators !


Why wet clothes dry up when iron?

The extreme heat from the iron heats up the water in the clothes to the point where the water just begins to evaporate from the clothes


How do you evaporate pop?

If you have salty water for example, and you wish to have just the salt, you must heat the solution. As the solutution heats, the water will evaporate, but the salt will stay, as it cant be evaporated.


Is a pool heat pump a pump also or does it require a pump?

A heat pump's name is a bit deceiving, it's just an appliance that heats water. You still need a normal pump and filter combination to move and filter the water.

One substance that heats more slowly than many other substances is?

The substance that heats more slowly than other substances could be water. But this idea is based on the high heat capacity of water. It takes more thermal energy (heat) to elevate the temperature of a given amount of water than an equal amount of another substance. But other substances might heat more slowly than water because heat does not travel "into" or "through" them very well. Different experiments may yield different results.


What are the waves that carry rays of heat in an oven called?

For The conventional oven, there would be convection that heats and re-heats the air. As the heat rises, it peaks and cools, then drops back down just to be heated up again.


How do you test water pump on a 1997 Ford Taurus?

Take the thermostat out, start the car and let it idle, see if it over heats. With the thermostat out of your car, it should just constantly circulate water, making it take longer to heat up. If it heats up fast then chances are that your pump is out. DO NOT LET THE CAR REDLINE.


How does a solar heating system heat water on a cold day?

Yes it can supply some hot water on cold days but it also needs a booster. You can't rely on just a solar heater because they will NOT work on overcast, snow etc. That is when your booster kicks in and heats the water.


Is the dish washer connected to cold or hot water?

Cold - the machine heats the water as required (just as a washing machine does)


Can you heat the water in satellite?

Yes. Just like astronauts can heat air in a satellite you can heat and boil water.


You just drove through water and now your car is making a rattling noise like there is a loose bolt?
