Heat energy is count from 0 Kelvin or -273.15 C,mass of water in ocean is approximately 1.4x10^21 kg with average temperature of 283 K, mass of a bucketful of water is no more than 10 kg and the hottest it could be is no more than 373 K. Amount of heat in a bucket of water is infinitisimally neglectible compare to heat in the ocean.

Why does the ocean heat and cool more slowly than the atmoshpere?

The high heat capacity and thermal conductivity of water make it heat and cool more slowly than the atmosphere. Water can absorb and store more heat energy compared to air. Additionally, the mixing of ocean waters and the vastness of the ocean help to distribute and transfer heat more slowly.


Why does the ocean heat and cool more slowly than the atmosohere?

The ocean has a higher heat capacity than the atmosphere, meaning it can absorb and store more heat before its temperature changes. Additionally, the movement of water in the ocean, such as currents and mixing, distributes heat more evenly throughout the ocean, causing it to heat and cool more slowly than the atmosphere.


What property of ocean water affect climate the most?

Its heat capacity


Why does the ocean take longer to heat up and longer to cool down?

The high heat capacity of water means that it requires more energy to increase its temperature, leading to a slower rate of heating. Additionally, the mixing and circulation of water in the ocean contribute to a delayed cooling process as heat is distributed throughout the water mass.


Why does th ocean heat and cool more slowly than the atmosphere?

The ocean has a higher heat capacity than the atmosphere, meaning it can store more heat. This allows the ocean to heat up and cool down more slowly compared to the atmosphere. Additionally, the mixing of the ocean's layers and currents also contribute to its slower heating and cooling rates.

Why does it take longer to heat a bucket of water than a cup of water?

Because there is more water in a bucket than in a cup, and more energy has to be put into the bucket of water than the little cup of water to bring them to the same temperature.


Does a bucket of clear water of a bucket of muddy water heat faster?

A bucket of clear water will generally heat faster than a bucket of muddy water. This is because muddy water contains particles that can absorb and scatter heat, reducing the efficiency of heat transfer. Additionally, the impurities in muddy water can increase its specific heat capacity, requiring more energy to raise its temperature compared to clear water. Thus, clear water will reach a higher temperature more quickly under the same heating conditions.


Does one bucket full of water contain more atoms than a bucket full of water from the ocean?

No, both buckets would contain approximately the same number of water molecules. Each molecule in a bucket of water from a single source (such as tap water or ocean water) would contain the same number of atoms.

Which on has more calories or heat energy a 3 gallon bucket of water or a 1 gallon?

3 gallons because it has more heat energy and it gets warmer

How do you cool water faster by putting ice into water or a bucket of water into ice?

putting ice into water: the ice and water are in contact with each other over a large surface area this allows more efficient heat transfer. putting a bucket of water into ice: Energy in the form of heat must pass through the bucket to the ice which is more difficult. Also the is less contact area with the solid ice sitting against the bucket than if water was in contact with the bucket. This is why when u make an ice bath to cool something down in you add water, it increases the contact area.


How do you convert calories to degrees Celsius?

You don't, because they measure different things. Temperature (degrees Celsius) describes how deep the heat is in something, whereas energy (calories) describes how much heat energy you put into it in order to make it that deep. -- I have a bucket of water on the table. -- I take a small cup, I dip a cup of water out of the bucket, and I place the cup on the table next to the bucket. -- The water in the bucket and the water in the cup both have the same temperature. -- I want to make the cup 10 degrees warmer, and I also want to make the bucket 10 degrees warmer. -- I'll need to add more calories of heat to the bucket, and fewer calories of heat to the cup, to raise both temperatures by the same number of degrees.


Which has more heat the ocean or a cup of hot tea?

starting from absolute zero, even twice as much water as the tea would contain more heat. Even starting at 0 Celsius underwater volcanoes would heat water far beyond boiling. On a percentage of heat the tea would win.


Why does metal get much hotter than a bucket of water in the sun?

Metal absorbs and retains heat more effectively than water. This is because metal has a higher thermal conductivity, allowing it to transfer heat more efficiently. In contrast, water has a higher specific heat capacity, which means it can absorb more heat without its temperature rising as quickly as metal.


Why is ocean temperature more constant than air temperature?

The specific heat of water is greater than the specific heat of air.


How does the middle west's distance from the ocean's affect its climate?

Being closer to the ocean means the area is more humid Water is a substance with high specific heat capacity (meaning: it loses and gains heat very slowly, it stores a lot of heat per gram of water) The more humid the area is, the more water molecules. This allows the area to have a stable temperature throughout the day. However, areas far from the ocean have more fluctuation of temperature due to lack of water vapor in the air.
