Heat
When a cold air mass catches up with a warm air mass, it can result in the formation of a cold front. This can lead to abrupt changes in weather conditions, such as thunderstorms, heavy rain, or even snow if the temperatures are cold enough.
What happens is similar to when a warm air mass meets a cold air mass: the Cold Air Mass is forced to Subside beneath the Warm Air Mass. Thusly the warm air is uplifted, it cools and Rain is formed. When a Warm Air Mass meets a Cold Air Mass, the warm air is [again] forced to Rise above the Cold Air Mass, it cools and Rain is formed.
A cold front occurs when colder air advances toward warm air. The cold air wedges under the warm air like a plow. As the warm air is lifted, it cool and water vapor condenses, forming clouds. When the temperature difference between the cold and warm air is large, thunderstorms and even tornadoes may form.
Cold air can reach the US through various weather patterns such as cold fronts, Arctic air masses, and polar vortexes. These systems can originate from Canada, the Arctic regions, or even Siberia, bringing frigid temperatures and winter weather to the US.
Warm air is less dense (lighter) than cold air..that is why warm air rises and cold air settles
Cold air radiates heat even in a seemingly passive state because all objects, including air, emit infrared radiation as a result of their temperature. This radiation occurs regardless of whether the air is actively moving or not.
There is no such thing as cold radiation. Cold is nothing in itself; it is merely the absence of heat - or just less heat. Heat, like light, radiates, but cold, like darkness, does not.What you may think of is cold convection; i.e., the fact that cold air will sink and warm air will rise. This effect is often confused as being 'cold radiation'.
The ocean keeps the temperature mild in summer and winter by, in summer, extracting heat from the air to warm up the waters temperature, then in winter, the heat radiates off the ocean. By the end of winter, the water is colder from the cold air, and radiates it off in summer. Hope that helped.
Not necessarily! Almost the entire continent of Antarctica is desert and it is bitterly cold there. Add to that other cool or cold deserts and that amounts to a lot of cold air. Even hot deserts can be quite cool or even cold at night as well as during the winter.
Answering "Why would the AC blow cold air on the drivers side while hot air blows on the passengers side even when all controls are set on cold 1997 Oldsmobile Aurora ?
A cold front forms when colder air advances toward warm air. The cold air wedges under the warm air like a plow. As the war air is lifted, it cools and water vapor condenses, forming clouds. When the temperature difference between the cold and warm air is large, thunderstorms and even tornadoes may form.
Increasing the temperature of the metal, increasing the surface area of the metal, and improving the thermal conductivity of the metal would all increase the amount of heat the metal radiates to the air.
Warm air contains more moisture than cold air. The air hits the cold window and the moisture is deposited on the cold glass. It is the same effect that causes your glass full of a cold beverage to start to drip down the sides.
There are two types of air masses: COLD AIR AND WARM AIR.Cold Air Masses-Cold air masses can cause thunderstorms and even tornadoes.Warm Air Masses-Warm air masses can bring many hours of steady rain and snow.

because of nature !
A heat pump is designed to extract heat from the outside air, even during cold weather. It uses this extracted heat to warm the indoor air. This is why a heat pump blows warm air instead of cold air during operation.
