How long does it take water to get hot in a gas hot water heater that has been shutoff for several months?
15 minutes to half an hour.
Why are plane vapour trails white not black?
I believe it's a combination of fuel exhaust and rapid compression of the moisture in the atmosphere due to the speed of the plane.ANSWER:It is from the hot exaust from the airplanes engines hitting the low pressure cold air in the upper atmosphere. It causes condensation and makes a cirrus cloud in a long line behind the plane. AnswerWhat is happening is that a combustion byproduct (either of a jet or piston engine), water, is condensing. Maybe even freezing. After all, atmospheric conditions up high usually include very cold air. When conditions are right, the condensate trail can be seen forming a short distance behind the plane. That's not due to compression. When we "see our breath" on a cold day, we are seeing the water vapor in our breath cooling and condensing.
How long will it take a 40 gallon hot water heater to fill up?
depends on water pressure, but it should completely fill in 15-20 minutes. the water should be hot in another 20-25 minutes if it has been run completely empty.
What happens to anything that sits in water long enough?
what happens to things that sit in water for a long time?
Equipment needed in a mine?

How long does water vapor typically linger in the atmosphere before condensing into clouds or precipitation?
Water vapor typically lingers in the atmosphere for a few days before condensing into clouds or precipitation.
How long does water vapor stay in the atmosphere before it condenses and falls as precipitation?
Water vapor can stay in the atmosphere for varying amounts of time before it condenses and falls as precipitation, typically ranging from a few days to a few weeks.
What is water that has been heated to a gas that is ten letters long?
The word you are looking for is "water vapor."
How does the greenhouse effect differ between water vapor and CO2 in terms of their impact on the Earth's climate?
Water vapor and carbon dioxide both contribute to the greenhouse effect by trapping heat in the Earth's atmosphere. However, carbon dioxide has a longer lifespan in the atmosphere and is more effective at trapping heat compared to water vapor. This means that while water vapor can have a more immediate impact on temperature fluctuations, carbon dioxide has a more long-lasting and significant effect on the Earth's climate.
What removes water vapor from the atmosphere and stores it for a long amount?
Water vapor is removed from the atmosphere primarily through the process of condensation, which leads to precipitation in the form of rain or snow. Once it reaches the ground, water can be stored in various reservoirs, such as oceans, lakes, rivers, and underground aquifers. These natural bodies of water can retain the water for extended periods, effectively acting as long-term storage for the Earth's freshwater resources. Additionally, ice caps and glaciers also store large amounts of water in solid form.
How long does ground level ozone last in the atmosphere?
A few hours. The half-life of ozone is dependent on temperature and water vapor, increases of either will shorten its lifespan.
What does evaporation of the sea water do to the hurricane?
Evaporation of sea water does absolutely nothing for a hurricane except provide water vapor. When the water vapor turns back to water in the form of rain it gives off heat. Hurricanes are massive heat engines. As long as they have water vapor to turn into heat they can continue blowing along. Without water vapor, the hurricane has no source of heat.
What does water and wind have to do together?
Water and wind are connected through the process of evaporation, where water on the Earth's surface is heated by the sun and changes into water vapor. This water vapor rises into the atmosphere and can be carried by wind over long distances. Wind can also create waves and currents in bodies of water, impacting the movement and circulation of water.
How long have thunderstorms been around?
Thunderstorms have likely been around for as long as Earth has been cool enough to support liquid water in its atmosphere, which is more than 4 billion years.
What is the relative impact of water vapor versus CO2 as a greenhouse gas in the Earth's atmosphere?
Water vapor is the most abundant greenhouse gas in the Earth's atmosphere and has a greater impact on the greenhouse effect compared to carbon dioxide (CO2). However, CO2 is considered a more potent and long-lasting greenhouse gas, contributing significantly to global warming and climate change.
Does Long-wave radiation from the ground pass through the atmosphere without absorption?
Yes, long-wave radiation emitted from the Earth's surface can pass through the atmosphere without being absorbed by greenhouse gases such as water vapor, carbon dioxide, and methane. These gases are transparent to long-wave radiation, allowing it to exit the atmosphere and dissipate into space.
Why does water in the rivers not evaporate at 100 C?
I will be astonished if you show me a river at 100 degrees Celsius in which the water is not actually boiling, let alone evaporating. Perhaps you mean: why does water in rivers evaporate at temperatures below 100 degrees Celsius. To which the answer is: water has a finite vapor pressure at every temperature; if that vapor pressure exceeds the partial pressure of water vapor in the atmosphere above the water, some of the water will evaporate until the partial pressure is equal to the vapor pressure. Even ice evaporates. Make some ice and leave it in your freezer for a long time. The ice cubes will shrink.
