Do more people die from heat or cold?
More people tend to die from extreme heat than from extreme cold. Heat-related illnesses, such as heat stroke, are more common and can be more deadly than cold-related illnesses. Additionally, heat waves can affect larger populations compared to cold spells.
Is cold worse than heat?
Both extreme cold and heat can be harmful to the body, but heat is generally considered more dangerous because it can lead to heat stroke and other heat-related illnesses more quickly than cold can lead to hypothermia. However, individual tolerance to cold and heat can vary.
Does cold absorb heat?
Sort of. In terms of physics, technically there is no such thing as cold. There is only heat, which is than measured on a scale to show how much heat is present. Heat will always transfer to something that has less heat than its present location. So technically no, cold does not absorb heat because cold is a perspective and not something that actually exists.. However, things that have less heat do absorb heat from things with more heat than itself. Cold is an abstract non physics word used to describe things with small amounts of heat, while in reality there is technically at least some measurable amount of heat if compared to true absolute 0 heat.
Which appear to be more numerous-receptors that respond to cold and heat?
Receptors that respond to cold are more numerous than receptors that respond to heat in the skin. Cold receptors are densely packed and widely distributed across the skin surface to detect changes in temperature quickly and efficiently, while heat receptors are less numerous and tend to respond to higher temperatures.
What is a good conductor for keeping things cold paper or plastic?
paper is thicker thus is hold cold or heat.

Are cold or heat receptors more numerous?
More cool receptors than warm receptors in the skin.
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.
Energy of hot objects?
energy is heat so more than cold objects
Will cold water extinguish a fire faster than hot water?
Yes it will. This is because cold water has less heat than hot water and therefore can absorb more heat when put on the fire.
How would a cold swimming pool could have more heat energy than a hot saucepan?
Because there is more particles in the swimming pool than the hot sauce pan so there is more heat energy.
Does cold radiate from Neptune?
No. Cold cannot radiate, only heat can. This is because cold is not a thing unto itself but is simply the relative absence of heat. While it is very cold, Neptune actually radiates more heat than it receives from the sun. If it were not for this it would be even colder.

Why is a piece of ice more effective in cooling a drink than the same mass of cod water?
A piece of ice is more effective in cooling a drink because it has a higher specific heat capacity than cold water, meaning it can absorb more heat while melting without significantly increasing in temperature. As the ice melts, it draws heat from the drink, cooling it more efficiently than cold water, which has already reached a stable lower temperature.
Can someone explain how heavier people are the quickest to complain that it is cold even when it is not cold ie. temps above 88F As a lifeguard I find it perplexing?
It is a myth that heavier weight people feel hotter than thinner people. In fact, the more weight, the more a person feels cold even in the sun, warm water, etc. Heavier people need more energy to generate body heat and if blood circulation is also impaired, they will often feel cooler than expected.
Which appear to be more numerous-receptors that respond to cold and heat?
Receptors that respond to cold are more numerous than receptors that respond to heat in the skin. Cold receptors are densely packed and widely distributed across the skin surface to detect changes in temperature quickly and efficiently, while heat receptors are less numerous and tend to respond to higher temperatures.
