It doesn't actually rise, so much as it does float on top of cold air.

Think of it this way: If someone was floating in a pool, and we poured more water in the pool, did that person rise? They didn't actually do anything other than float there.

Heat is the same way. It's not actively moving when it "rises".

Why is it wrong to say that heat rises?

It is incorrect to say that "heat rises" because heat does not have mass or volume to physically move in a specific direction. Heat transfer occurs from hot to cold areas due to the movement of thermal energy, known as convection, which leads to the misconception of heat "rising."


Why is it incorrect to say that an object contain heat?

It is incorrect to say that an object "contains" heat because heat is not a tangible substance that can be stored within an object. Heat is a form of energy that can be transferred between objects or systems. When we say an object is hot, we actually mean that it has a higher internal energy due to the transfer of heat to it.


Why is it incorrect to say that an object has heat?

It is incorrect to say that an object has heat because heat is not a property that an object possesses; rather, it is the transfer of energy between objects due to a temperature difference. Objects can store thermal energy, but they do not "have" heat in the same way they have mass or volume.


What is the correct grammar for ' The crowd cheered the winners her and i '?

"The crowd cheered the winners, her and me." It is incorrect in this context to say "she and I" and it is always incorrect to say "her and I." You can use "her and me" anywhere that you would use "us," and you can use "she and I" anywhere that you would use "we."


Is it correct to say It suffice to say or suffice it to say?

Logic tells me it is not correct since "suffice" is a synonym of sufficient. You would never say "sufficient it to say" would you. So why say "suffice it to say"?
