What else can I help you with?
Does land lose heat faster than water?
Soil is solid. Its molecules are close to one another so it heats faster. It also cools faster. Water is liquid. Molecules in liquids are farther apart so water heats more slowly............ Andre Ü
When a solid melts does its particles lose its heat energy?
No. They gain.
When does land and water absorb and lose heat?
Land absorbs and loses heat more quickly than water. This is because land has a lower specific heat capacity than water, meaning it takes less energy to raise or lower its temperature. As a result, land heats up and cools down faster than water, leading to temperature differences between land and water bodies.
What process can humans lose heat but not gain it?
Humans can lose heat through processes such as conduction, convection, radiation, and evaporation. However, humans cannot gain heat through evaporation because it is a cooling process where heat is transferred from the body to the surrounding environment.
Do oceans gain or lose water?
Oceans can both gain and lose water. They gain water from sources like rainfall, rivers, and melting ice caps. They lose water through processes like evaporation and when water is locked into glacial ice. Overall, the balance between these inputs and outputs determines whether the oceans are gaining or losing water.
Is evaporation heat gain or heat loss?
For what?It requires a heat gain for the water,but a heat loss for whatever the water is in contact with.
How fast does the body lose heat in water?
25 times faster
Why does salt water lose heat faster then fresh water?
The specific heat of both are essentially the same. i.e. it doesn't.
How fast does the body lose heat in cold water?
25 times faster
Does water vapor gain or lose heat when it condenses?
removed. The heat in the glass is being extracted causing the outside of the glass to have water on it.
Is freezing ice heat gain or heat loss?
Freezing ice is a process that involves heat loss. When liquid water turns into ice, heat escapes from the water, causing it to lose energy and lower in temperature.
Why does the land lose heat more quickly at night than a body of water does?
Land loses heat more quickly at night than water because land has lower specific heat capacity and thermal conductivity compared to water. This means that land temperature changes more rapidly with changes in energy input or output, while water can absorb and retain more heat. This leads to cooler temperatures on land at night compared to bodies of water.
Why does air lose heat faster than water and soil?
Air loses heat faster than water and soil because it has a lower heat capacity, meaning it requires less energy to change its temperature. In contrast, water and soil have higher heat capacities, which allow them to absorb and retain heat more effectively, slowing down the rate at which they lose heat. Additionally, water and soil are denser and more compact compared to air, which also affects their ability to retain heat.
Do metasls gain electrons?
If you mean Metals... No, they do not gain electrons, they actually lose electrons because it is a lot easy for them to lose them so they can gain stability much faster.
How does good conductors of heat work?
the material can gain or lose heat easily
What gains and loses heat much more quickly than?
There are a great many things that gain and lose heat. Metals for example gain and lose heat much more quickly than gasses.
When the body is in water how many times faster does it lose heat than when it is in still air?
The body loses heat around 25 times faster in water than in still air due to water's high thermal conductivity. This rapid heat loss can lead to hypothermia in cold water even if the air temperature is warm.
