What cause you to get warm if you stand near a fire?

the heat from the fire! what kind of question is that?


Can you explain why you feel warm when you are standing away from a campfire?

A fire burns fuel to produce heat and gasses. Some of the heat comes off as visible light and some warms the air in and around the fire and this rises with the smoke.However, allot of the heat comes off as infra red radiation - a form of light that you can not see with your eyes, but that you can feel with your skin (as the warmth from the fire).Your skin is always trading heat with its surroundings, your body is always losing heat at a moderate rate to the air touching it. When more heat comes in than goes out, the skin feels warm. So the side of you that faces a fire will feel hot because it is getting more heat than it is losing (because it is absorbing the infra red radiation), while your back surface is shaded from the fire's energy (by your front) and this will be losing more heat than it is receiving and will therefore feel cold.


Definition of Flammable Material?

It means the material is easy to be burnt and should be kept away from fire.


Why during in fire you rap awoollen blanket over the burning object?

Fire requires three things: heat, fuel, and oxygen. If you take one of them away, then the fire will stop. By wrapping a heavy blanket around a burning object, it blocks oxygen in the air from getting to the fire and the fire goes out. This is why a fire blanket is standard safety equipment in school science labs.

What happens to the temperature the further away the planet is from the sun?

Take for example, there is a fire. The closer you stand to the fire, the warmer it is. The further you stand away from the fire, the colder it is. This is the same for the temperature on planets and distance from the sun. But that doesn't apply to the planet Venus. Although Venus is the SECOND closest to the sun, it's the hottest because the hot air is trapped in its dense atmosphere. It's kind of like a greenhouse on Venus.

What are the safety precautions to consider when using a Dutch oven fire stand?

Use heat-resistant gloves when handling the Dutch oven or fire stand. Keep a fire extinguisher or water source nearby in case of emergencies. Never leave the fire unattended and always supervise children and pets around the fire stand. Allow the Dutch oven and fire stand to cool completely before handling or storing them.

Why do the temperatures of the 8 planets change as you get further away from the sun?

The temperatures of the 8 major planets change as you get further away from the sun for the same reason the temperature changes as you move farther from a fire. Heat radiates, but loses intensity the farther you move away from the heat source. The only apparent exception to this is Venus, which is hotter than Mercury even though it's further away from the Sun. This is because Venus has a runaway greenhouse effect due to its atmosphere trapping heat.


Why does water get colder the deeper you dive?

Well, Basically water is dense (thick in laments terms) heat is just another way to say energy so, ocean water temperature drops slowly, down to a depth of about 700 feet, but after this point it remains fairly constant for a depth of about another 250 feet in a 'belt', within which it gets neither hotter or colder. Below this depth, it continues to get colder, more rapidly than it did before, mostly because heat travels the farther the travel the more work is required to heat up. The higher up you are the closer to the origin of the heat source you are. In other words when you light a fire, when you next to the fire its pretty warm but as you walk away from it you become colder because you are going further away from the fire.
