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.


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.


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.


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).


How does the northern goshawk survive in cold weather?

Northern goshawks survive in cold weather by having dense, insulating feathers and a layer of down underneath them that helps keep them warm. They also have physiological adaptations such as increased metabolism and the ability to tolerate lower temperatures by conserving heat. Additionally, their diet of small mammals and birds provides them with a source of energy to maintain body temperature in cold conditions.
