Does it feel hotter in high altitudes?
At higher altitudes, the air is less dense and contains fewer molecules to trap heat, so it can feel colder rather than hotter. However, the sun's rays can still feel more intense due to less atmosphere to scatter them, making it feel warmer in direct sunlight.
A beach towel is laying on the sand in the sun Why does the sand feel hotter to touch than the towel?
The sand has a higher conductivity.
Why does concrete that has been lying in the sun feel hotter than grass which has been in the same amount of sun?
Concrete has a higher heat capacity and thermal conductivity compared to grass, which means it can absorb and retain more heat. Grass can also release moisture through evaporation, which helps to cool it down. This combination of factors makes concrete feel hotter to the touch compared to grass.
Why does the sun rays feel hotter than before?
Some scientists say it is because of global warming. global warming is caused by what is believed to be us polluting the atmosphere. When we pollute the atmosphere with smoke, and gas, and other harmful things, it traps the heat from the sun which makes it feel hotter. Imagine it like the Earth covered up with a blanket. When you get hot, you would want to take the blanket off. Well, the Earth cannot take off that blanket when it gets hot. It just keeps getting hotter and hotter. Have you ever been in a greenhouse? If you have, you would know it is very hot. The Earth's atmosphere is like a greenhouse. It takes in the sun heat and traps it inside. Of course our atmosphere releases some heat to make the atmosphere at a moderate temperature and not boiling hot. Global warming is making the Earth much warmer and when the air gets more heated up, the atmosphere doesn't release enough to keep it at that normal temperature.
Does an oven get hotter than the sun?
No. A home oven cannot get hotter than about 500 degrees F, while the surface of the Sun is over 10,000.
A beach towel is laying on the sand in the sun. Why does the sand feel hotter to touch than the towel?
The sand has a higher conductivity.
A beach towel is laying on the sun why does the sad feel hotter to touch than than the towel?
The sand feels hotter to touch than the towel because sand has a lower heat capacity than the towel, which means it heats up faster when exposed to the sun. This is why the sand can feel hotter even when they are both under the same sun.
From the graph can you generalize that the higher the layer of the athmosphere (that is closer to the sun) hotter temperature why or why not?
Based on the graph, can you generalize that the higher the layer of the atmosphere (that is closer to the sun), the hotter the temperature? Why or why not
Do you get sun burnt faster in higher elevation?
In higher elevations or altitudes like mountain regions, there is higher risk of developing sunburns.
Does it feel hotter in high altitudes?
At higher altitudes, the air is less dense and contains fewer molecules to trap heat, so it can feel colder rather than hotter. However, the sun's rays can still feel more intense due to less atmosphere to scatter them, making it feel warmer in direct sunlight.
Can you generalize that the higher the layer of the atmosphere that is closer to the sun the hotter the temperature?
Not on your life. The highest layers of the atmosphere are the coldest, and the hottest season in the US occurs at the time when the Earth is farthest away from the sun.
When the sun is higher in the sky in summer why is it hotter?
because the earht spins on its axis
Why is the sun higher in the sky in the the summer and lower in the winter?
why the sun is higher in summer is because the earths top of the axis is pointed to the sun which makes this hotter and in winter the axis is pointed away from the sun which makes it colder
A beach towel is laying on the sand in the sun Why does the sand feel hotter to touch than the towel?
The sand has a higher conductivity.
What is hotter surface of sun or core of earth?
Surface of the sun is hotter.
Is Neptune hotter then the sun?
No. None of the planets is hotter than the sun.
If a newspaper and a metal lunchbox are sitting in the sun why does the metal lunchbox feel hotter to the touch?
Metal is a good conductor of heat compared to paper, so it absorbs and transfers heat more efficiently. This causes the metal lunchbox to feel hotter to the touch when exposed to the sun than the newspaper.
