Why is the air colder than the land?
Water has a very high specific heat capacity, meaning it takes more energy to heat it up than most substances and it releases more energy than it heats down. Additionally, water can circulate, so that heat gets distributed to a greater depth than it can with solid earth. As a result, land heats up faster in the day and cools down more slowly at night than water does. For this reason, air over land tends to be warmer in the day an cooler at night than air over water.
Which holds more moisture warmer air or colder air?
Warmer air can generally hold more moisture than colder air because warm air molecules move more quickly and have higher kinetic energy, allowing them to hold more water vapor. As air temperature decreases, its capacity to hold moisture decreases as well.
Why does sound carry so well on a lake?
Because of the density of water, it does not heat up as quickly when exposed to light, and is, therefor, colder than the air around it. This means that the water is constantly pulling heat energy from the air around it, making the air directly above a body of water colder than that above land, and because colder, denser air conducts sound more readily than warmer air, sound travels more efficiently over a lake than over land.
Is salt water colder then ice?
well for something to freeze it has to be 0 degrees or lower which is what ice is, frozen water. so the water has to be 1 degree or more to NOT freeze so the ice is colder than salt watercoz salt water is not frozen... does t6hat make sense? Actually, salt water CAN be colder than ice because the salt lowers the freezing point of the water.
Is cold water denser than room tempurture water?
yeah cold water is denser than room temperature (warm) water.
How much colder is the temperature of water compared to the temperature of the air?
The temperature of water is typically colder than the temperature of the air.
When a cup is sweating is the water colder or warmer than the outside?
A sweating cup is colder than the air which surrounds it.
If a test tube is full of water at 20 digrese in time would the water continue to get colder?
The future temperature of the water depends upon the surrounding air's temperature. So if the air around the test tube is colder than 20 degrees, then the water will get colder. If the air temperature is warmer than 20 degrees then the water will get warmer.
Does warm air hold more water molecules?
Yes, warm air can hold more water (in the form of water vapor) than colder air.
When you breathe out on winter mornings your air is foggy?
Warmer air can carry more "dissolved" water(water wapour) than colder air can. When you breathe out moist, body-temperature air into colder air that excess water vapour condenses into tiny droplets, which create the fog that you see.
Does the amount of water vapor that a volume of air can hold decrease as air temperature rises?
No. It increases. Warmer air can hold more water than colder air.
How much air is in hot water Is there more air in cold water under the same pressure of course?
Colder water can hold more oxygen than warmer water.
Colder air holds less moisture than warmer air?
If air is holding as much moisture as it can, colder air holds less than warmer.
Why is it cold near lakes?
The temperature of water changes much more slowly than that of air. Because of this, water in lakes is usually significantly colder than the ambient air surrounding it. The colder temperatures of the water will lower the air temperature in the immediate vicinity. (much in the same way of how it feels if you stand in front of an open refrigerator).
The molecular activity associated with heat causes warm air to blank than colder air?
heat causes warm air to occupy more space than colder air.
How do air masses form and moves?
water absorbs less heat than rock or metal does. if you have a small island in the middle of the ocean, then it will get colder than a continent because it is surrounded by water. then the atmoshere around that area will all be colder than the atmoshere over a large continent. air masses move because cold air is heavier than warm air. so if you have an area of warm air next to an area of cold air, you get this kind of movement / \ cold | |warm air (moves up air --> (moves down and under the warm air)
What is colder the ground or air?
Typically, the ground is colder than the air. This is because the ground absorbs and retains heat from the sun more slowly than the air, resulting in cooler ground temperatures.
