A person can lose/gain heat in five ways:
Conduction is the transfer of heat directly from one object to another. For example: sitting on the cold leather seats of an un-warmed vehicle.
Convection is the loss of heat through moving air or liquid. When it is cold we lose heat through the blowing wind
Evaporation occurs when a liquid changes into a gas. Sweating is an example of evaporation.
Radiation is heat sent outward into the air from your body and into nearby colder objects. It is also known as infrared energy.
Respiration is also when our body breathes in warm and humidified air and exhales carrying heat from the body.
What else can I help you with?
When a solid melts does its particles lose its heat energy?
No. They gain.
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.
Does water gain heat or lose heat faster than h20?
land loses heat faster than H20
Why is the temperature of a thermometer the same as the temperature of the surroundings?
Heat energy gets exchanged between the thermometer and the surroundings. So, if you introduce the thermometer into a new surrounding, it will initially NOT have the same temperature. However, since it's small and doesn't have a lot of mass, it will soon lose or gain temperature, until it has the same temperature as its surroundings.
When a solid melts do its particles gain or lose heat energy?
A material must gain energy both before and during melting.
Does steam gain or lose energy when it condenses to form water?
When steam condenses to form water, it releases energy in the form of heat to the surroundings. This energy is needed to break the intermolecular forces that hold the water molecules together as steam.
How does good conductors of heat work?
the material can gain or lose heat easily
Does a substance gain energy when it freezes?
When a substance freezes, it releases energy as it changes from a higher-energy state (liquid) to a lower-energy state (solid). The energy is released as heat into the surroundings.
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.
Does good radiators gain or lose heat easily?
Yes to both--they gain heat from the source, and lose heat to the atmosphere. They have to be able to do both; if the radiator in your car couldn't absorb heat from the coolant, it wouldn't cool the engine properly.
An object is warmer than its surroundings it will?
Release its heat energy until the object (system) and the surroundings are the same temperature.
How does an object gain or lose heat?
An object gains heat through conduction, convection, or radiation from a warmer object or its surroundings. It loses heat through the same processes when it is in contact with a cooler object or environment. Heat transfer occurs until thermal equilibrium is reached.
When a solid melts does its particles lose its heat energy?
No. They gain.
What happens when the temperature of an objects surroundings change?
When the temperature of an object's surroundings changes, it can cause the object's temperature to also change. If the surroundings get warmer, the object will absorb heat and its temperature will rise. Conversely, if the surroundings get colder, the object will lose heat and its temperature will drop.

What happens when oceans gain and lose heat slowly?
Nothing Happens
