Cold is the absence of heat. No doubt about it . . . take away enough heat,

and you can make anything cold.

How does the cold water help to put the fire?

Cold water helps to put out a fire by reducing the temperature of the fuel source below its ignition point, thereby extinguishing the flames. It also helps to create steam which displaces oxygen and suffocates the fire.


Why does Hot water extinguishes fire more effectively than cold water?

Hot water can extinguish fires more effectively than cold water because it has a higher energy content, which allows it to heat up the fuel source more quickly and potentially reach the flash point faster. The heat from hot water can also help to break down the fuel source more rapidly, making it more difficult for the fire to continue burning.


Do thunderstorms happen in cold temperature or warm temperature?

Thunderstorms are most likely to form during warm weather. In simple terms, the heat is their source of energy.


How do I keep an object cold that is near a heat source long term doesn't have to be more then a few degrees?

The best available insulation is a vacuum flask; failing that, Styrofoam is quite effective as well. Put something in a sealed Styrofoam container with some ice, and it will stay cold for a long time, even if it is near a heat source (within reason; too much heat will destroy the Styrofoam, of course).


What does the 1st letter of an air mass tells us The second?

The first letter of an air mass classification indicates its source region and temperature characteristics: "m" for maritime (moist) and "c" for continental (dry). The second letter denotes the latitude of the source region, with "T" for tropical (warm), "P" for polar (cold), and "A" for Arctic (very cold). For example, "mT" represents a warm, moist air mass from tropical regions, while "cP" indicates a cold, dry air mass from polar regions.
