Why does water stick to the outside of a cup when it's hot?
Relative humidity is the ratio of the amount of water air is holding to the amount of water it can hold. The warmer air is, the more water it can hold. Therefore, as air temperature drops, relative humidity increases, even when no additional moisture is being added to the air. If the temperature continues to drop after the relative humidity reaches 100%, the excess moisture gets condensed out of the air. That is why dew forms during the night. The cold cup of water cools the air around it by conduction, so that cooler layer of air in contact with the cup loses its ability to hold its moisture, and the excess moisture condenses onto the cup.
What happens to pressure and temperature as depth decreases?
Temperature increases due to the fact that the center of the earth is magma. No humans or machine could actually get close enough to it to be able to tell. This is why high mountain tops are generally colder then sea level.
Does water expand when getting warmer?
It depends on the temperure of the water. Water actually reaches maximum density at 4 degrees centigrade. It expands or gets less dense as it increases in temperature above that.
Why do certain plants grow faster than others when theyre planted at the same time and put in the same place?
Some plants germinate at different rates because of the amount of sunlight they are exposed to, the amount of moisture in their soil, or the temperature of their environment. Some plants also germinate faster because of their seed size.
Why is compressed air cold?
Compressed air leaves a cooling sensation because when on feels the air on his body part, there is some moisture content on the skin and when air strikes, it makes the moisture content to evaporate by absorbing the nearby heat from the skin thus making a cooling sensation.
How can you feel water in the air?
You can feel water in the air when the humidity is high. The humidity is the amount of moisture in the air. The humidity gets high when the temperature rises.
How do we show the change in temperature when it gets warmer?
The numerical value of the temperature increases.
What happens to the temperature of air as altitude increases?
As altitude increases, the temperature of air gets considerably colder and once you get past about 15,000 feet it gets colder faster and faster.
How can temperature and acidity affect rates?
As the temperature increases the molecules gets more kinetic energy so increases the reaction rate.
How does temperature affect osmosis rate?
Yes it does as temperature increases so does the rate of osmosis for example as temperature increases the osmotic rate gets faster etc.
When the latitude increases how is the temperature?
when the latitude increases the temperature decreases so, it is very cold.
How does star's color change as its temperature increases?
because when its temperature increases it changes color because the heat that its getting makes it changeStar color changes as the temperature increases. This is because the hotter it gets the red it is.
Which temperature phenomenon occurs when the troposphere gets hotter as altitude increases?
this is known as a temperature inversion
What happends to temperature as depth of ocean increases?
The temperature goes down ie it gets colder.
What happens as the depth increases in the ocean?
the pressure increases i forgot why but that's what i know
What is the temperature as it gets deeper into the mantle?
As you go deeper into the earth the temperature increase. The rate at which the temperature increases is called the geothermal gradient.
