To understand this fully you would need to now a bit of quantum mechanics - specifically the photo electric effect for which Albert Einstein won the Nobel prize. Briefly put the higher frequency end of the electromagnetic spectrum which occurs in natural sunlight can penetrate the glass as with a greenhouse and heat the contents. The energy that is re-emitted from the warmed contents is at a lower frequency that is less penetrating and the result is a net heat gain. There are limiting factors in that there are various ways in which the terrarium can loose heat nevertheless as with the greenhouse it serves it's purpose.
What else can I help you with?
Why is temperature controlled in refrigerators?
simply to keep food fresh. If the fridge's temp is too high, food will warm to room temperature and go off faster. Too cold, then the food will freeze! Everytime you open the fridge door you are letting room temperature air inside, increasing the temperature of the air inside the fridge, therefore the fridge (if automatic) will measure the temperature and make the air to the right temperature.
Is it a waste of energy to run a home air conditioer with the windows open if the outside temperature is cooler than the desired inside temperature?
Yes
What is normal air flow temperature from an air conditioning unit from the inside vent to the outside ambient temperature?
The normal air flow temperature from an air conditioning unit at the inside vent typically ranges between 15 to 20 degrees Fahrenheit (8 to 11 degrees Celsius) cooler than the ambient indoor temperature. For example, if the indoor temperature is 75°F (24°C), the air coming from the vent would generally be around 55°F to 60°F (13°C to 16°C). However, this can vary based on the efficiency of the unit and environmental conditions.
What happens to the air in a container when it is in the fridge?
When a container with air is placed in the fridge, the temperature of the air inside the container decreases. As the temperature drops, the air molecules lose energy and move more slowly, resulting in reduced pressure if the container is sealed. This cooling also leads to a decrease in the air's ability to hold moisture, which can cause condensation to form inside the container. Overall, the air becomes denser and less energetic as it cools down.
What would the air temperature inside a small building be if it is in the sun and the outside temperature is 100 degrees?
Probably the same, for the equilibrium would take place sooner or later.
What do the water droplets on a glass indicate about the temperatures inside and outside the terrarium?
the water droplets indicate that the air is cooler on one side of the glass. If the droplets are inside, then the outside is cooler. If the droplets are outside, it means the inside is cooler.
How would conditions inside the terrarium change if there were a hole in one side of it?
If there were a hole in one side of the terrarium, the conditions inside would likely become less stable. Air exchange would occur, allowing moisture and humidity to escape, which could lead to a drier environment. Additionally, the introduction of outside air could affect temperature and potentially introduce contaminants or pests. Overall, the ecosystem within the terrarium would be disrupted, potentially harming the plants and organisms inside.
Can you put air plants in a terrarium?
Yes, you can put air plants in a terrarium as long as the terrarium has good air circulation and the plants are not overcrowded. Air plants do not require soil to grow and can thrive in a terrarium environment with proper care.
Why should you allow outside air to come inside the terrarium?
The poop will be come iodine and will be come winter
What produces the air in the terrarium?
The plants recycle the air.
Can air plants survive in a closed terrarium?
Yes, air plants can survive in a closed terrarium as long as they receive enough light and air circulation to thrive.
Is temperature of air in a closed bottle equal to temperature of open air?
No, the temperature inside a closed bottle will not necessarily be the same as the temperature of open air. The closed bottle can trap heat or coolness, leading to a different temperature than open air depending on factors like insulation, sunlight exposure, or time.
How does the water temperature compare to the air temperature?
The water temperature can be different from the air temperature.
Where is the intake air temperature sensor on a 1990 Mazda Miata?
If it's not different than my 92' then it's inside the air flow meter. I belive it to be a little white plastic appendage inside the inlet.
Will a difference in air temperature affect the size of a balloon?
Yes, a difference in air temperature can affect the size of a balloon. When air temperature increases, the air inside the balloon expands, causing the balloon to inflate. Conversely, when air temperature decreases, the air inside the balloon contracts, causing the balloon to deflate.
How does air conditioning cool your car?
changes the air temperature inside
How would manipulating air temperature allow you to control altitude balloon?
Increasing the air temperature inside the balloon will cause the air inside to become less dense and expand, making the balloon buoyant and rise. Conversely, decreasing the air temperature inside the balloon will cause the air to become denser and contract, making the balloon less buoyant and descend. By controlling the temperature inside the balloon, you can effectively control its altitude.
