Temperature can have two primary effects. First, keep in mind that the rate a bullet drops always remains the same. What changes is the amount of range we can get out of a bullet before it drops a certain amount.

The first effect is that generally, higher temperatures means more initial velocity when the bullet leaves the barrel. This usually means more range.

The second effect is that the air is less dense, and therefore creates less drag on the bullet. Again, this means more range.

How far does a bullet drop at 1000 yards?

There is no one answer, since there is no one bullet. The drop of a bullet is a function of the speed- how long it took to get to 1000 yards. Some bullets will not TRAVEL 1000 yards. All other things being equal, the faster bullet will drop less.


Does ypur body temperature drop or raise after urination?

After urination, body temperature may slightly drop due to the release of warm urine, which can lead to a temporary cooling effect. However, this change is generally minimal and not significant enough to cause any noticeable impact on overall body temperature. Other factors, like ambient temperature and hydration levels, play a more substantial role in regulating body temperature.
