Temperature has a big effect on how fast air molecules travel. Air molecules move faster in hot weather and they move slower in cold weather.

Measures how fast air molecules are moving?
A thermometer. Temperture is the measure of the kinetic energy, Aka speed, of molecules.
Is evaporation slower in warm air?
Evaporation is slower in warm air then it is hot air because the molecules don't start moving as fast. This means evaporation doesn't happen quickly.
How fast are molecules in a refrigerator moving as compared to a freezer?
in the refrigerator the molecules are a little slow but freezer is almost stiff
How fast molecules are moving is.....?
How fast molecules are moving is dependent on the amount of kinetic energy the particle posses. The more kinetic (movement) energy the particle has, the fast it is moving. Also keep in mind that temperature is the average kinetic energy of a bunch of molecules (for instance, your coffee this morning). As your heat up your coffee, you are increasing the amount of movement occurring within the mug, while cooling it down will slow the movements of the particles. Increase in temperature = increase in average kinetic energy = fast moving particles
Why does a porous canvas bag with water cool when slung on the outside of a fast-moving car in hot weather?
Evaporation is a cooling process. The water molecules that escape the surface of the bag were those that were fast moving. If you remove the fast moving molecules, the ones left behind are slower and, thereby, colder. The faster you remove them the colder the aggregate becomes. Hanging the bag on the front of a fast moving car is a good way to remove them quickly.
What makes hot air turn to cold air?
Heat is defined by how fast molecules are moving. Fast moving molecules will have a higher temperature than slow moving molecules. The kinetic energy of the hot air is transferred to the cold air, which means the cold air becomes a little warmer, and the hot air becomes cooler.

What happens to fast moving air?
Fast moving air is practically molecules rubbing against each other and moving in one direction at the same time. If this answer doesn't help, you might want to check out the science answers and questions... if this wasn't scientific enough for you ;)
When you are measuring temperature you are measuring the?
How fast molecules are moving. If they are moving fast its hot, but if they are moving slow it is cold
The type of energy that depends on how fast the molecules in a substance are moving?
Kinetic energy is the type of energy that depends on how fast the molecules in a substance are moving.
How does conduction differ convection?
Conduction warms the atmosphere as fast-moving molecules come into contact with lower-energy molecules until all molecules are moving at about the same rate. As the atmosphere warms, molecules move apart. As the heated air flows, heat is transferred by convection from warm, low-pressure air to cooler, high-pressure air.
How does conduction differ from conduction?
Conduction warms the atmosphere as fast-moving molecules come into contact with lower-energy molecules until all molecules are moving at about the same rate. As the atmosphere warms, molecules move apart. As the heated air flows, heat is transferred by convection from warm, low-pressure air to cooler, high-pressure air.
What is the measurement of how fast molecules are moving?
Temperature
When water molecules are moving closer together in the air is called?
When water molecules are moving closer together in the air it is called
What zone does the warm are rise and cool and the cool air sinks?
Warm air molecules are fast moving and therefore less dense than cold air molecules. Since cold air is more dense (more slowly moving) it sinks.
What is moving in a wave?
the air molecules
What happens when fast moving molecules touch other molecules?
Heat transfer
