The temperature and the amount of water need to be kept the same so that the only variable that changes is surface area. If you allow the temperature and/or the amount of water to change too, you will not know which variable is causing the changes that you observe.

What two properties are most important in determining the surface temperature of a planet?

The two factors that affect the amount of sunlight received by a planets surface would be how close it is to the sun and how much of an atmosphere it has. This is because an atmosphere will trap heat.


How would you explain testing how two types of soap work using control and variable?

The control is what you're washing, amount of dirt, kind of dirt, temperature of water. The kind and amount of soap are variables, although when using the same kind in different amounts, the kind is control. The temperature of water is also control and variable depending on the test.


Does temperature affect the amount of substance dissolved in a saturated solution?

Yes temperature affects the amount of substance dissolved in a saturated solution.


What is the effect of temperature change to the amount of heat content of the substance?

The effect of temperature change to the amount of heat content of the substance is called heat transfer. As heat increases, the temperature decreases.


Do clouds affect weather?

Weather does not always affect cloud cover, in fact its just about the complete opposite. In some cases though it does tend to effect if it will rain or not. "Cloud cover has a dramatic effect on the temperature forecast. Clouds can cause the surface temperature to be more or less than expected. The amount of solar energy reaching the surface is a strong determinate of surface temperature. The troposphere is heated through solar radiation's sensible heat input over the earth's surface. Since temperature measurements are made near the surface, fluctuations in this solar energy change the surface temperature. Clouds act as a regulator to the amount of solar radiation that reaches the surface. Clouds reduce the temperature during the day depending on the cloud thickness, how widespread the clouds are and how long they block solar radiation. If more cloud cover occurs than is expected during the daylight, the surface temperature will generally be cooler than expected. If less cloud cover occurs than is expected during the daylight, the surface temperature will generally be warmer than expected."More Information can be found at: http://www.theweatherprediction.com/habyhints2/371/

Why is it important to keep the temperature and the amount of water the same when testing a surface area?

Keeping the temperature and amount of water the same when testing a surface area ensures consistency in the experimental conditions. This helps to control variables that could affect the results, allowing for accurate comparisons between different surfaces. Changes in these factors could introduce errors and make it difficult to draw meaningful conclusions from the experiment.


What is the relationship between latitude and sea surface temperature?

The oceans surface water temperature varies with the amount of solar radiation received, which is primarily a function of latitude.


What does the temperature of a surface tell you?

It tells you the amount of the sun's heat energy that has been absorbed.


Is it true that the hotter a surface is the more heat it radiates?

Yes, it is true. According to Planck's law of black body radiation, the amount of heat radiated by a surface is proportional to its temperature raised to the fourth power. This means that as the temperature of a surface increases, the amount of heat it radiates also increases.


Why is the temperature to freeze the surface of ocean water lower than the temperature needed to freeze the surface of water like Lake Superior?

The ocean water has a high amount of dissolved salts.


What governs the amount of heat dissipation over the heated surface?

The amount of heat dissipation over a heated surface is primarily governed by factors such as the temperature difference between the surface and its surroundings, the thermal conductivity of the material, the surface area, and the presence of any insulation or cooling mechanisms. Heat dissipation increases with a higher temperature difference and greater surface area, and decreases with higher thermal conductivity and effective insulation.


What is the surface temperature of alkaid?

Alkaid, a star in the constellation Ursa Major, has a surface temperature of around 7,500 degrees Celsius. It is a hot, blue-white star that emits a significant amount of ultraviolet radiation.


Are the most important properties of an air mass its temperature and amount of water vapor?

What are the two most important properties of air mass?

Temperature and amount of water vapor.


Does the surface area of an object affect the amount of friction between the object and the surface?

No, it doesn't, the only important thing is the force perpendicular to the surface (weight) and friction coefficient.


In what way is the surface area more important for cells than volume?

For example, the amount of nutrients a cell can absorb are proportional to its surface area.


What variables affect the amount of thermal energy radiated by a potato?
