When night falls on a summer day the air temperature drops by 10 degrees Celsius will the temperature of a nearby lake change by the same amount?

Compared to air, the contents of the lake (water) hold a great deal more heat, and the lake can
only gain or lose heat through its surface. So the nearby lake gains or loses heat more slowly
than the adjacent air does. To my mind, the lake behaves as a battery or as a capacitor as it
were . . . the lake maintains its cool when the surrounding air warms, maintains its warmth
when the surrounding air cools, and is always available as a nearby 'sink' that acts to smooth
the extremes of temperature that the adjacent air would otherwise exhibit.

A substance has a temperature change from 20 degrees celsius to 45 degrees celsius. This corresponds to what temperature change in Fahrenheit degrees?
20 degrees Celsius is 68 degrees Fahrenheit. 45 degrees Celsius is 113 degrees Fahrenheit. So 25 degrees change Celsius = 25 x 1.8 = 45 degrees Fahrenheit. 1 degree change in Celsius is equivalent to 1.8 degrees change in Fahrenheit.

What is the temperature change when you heat water from 35 degrees Celsius to 100 degrees Celsius?
Please try to use your brain to solve simple questions such as this one. The change in temperature is simply 100 - 35 = 65 degrees Celsius.
Which is a larger change in temperature a change of Celsius degree or 1 Fahrenheit degree?
Celsius degrees are larger.
How do you change kelvin in to degrees?
Subtract 273 from the temperature in Kelvin to get Degrees Celsius. From there you can use degrees C to get degrees F.
If the temperature changes by K by how much does it change in degrees Celsius?
convert 68 fahrenheit to celsius. (celsius =(fehrenhit -32)/ 1.8)
What is the change in average temperature between January and July if January's average temperature is 9 degrees Celsius and July's average temperature is 16 degrees Celsius in America?
The change is 7 Celsius degrees (NOT degrees Celsius).
What would be the amount in Fahrenheit if the temperature changed 6 degrees Celsius?
Fahrenheit would change 10.8 degrees.
What is an amount of water whose temperature would change by 15 degrees Celsius when it absorbs 2646 joules of heat energy?
The amount of water whose temperature would change by 15 degrees Celsius when it absorbs 2646 joules of heat energy is 42,2g H2O.

Celsius degrees are larger.
What is the temperature change in 12 degrees Celsius to minus 5 degrees Celsius?
12 - (-5) = 17 deg
What is the temperature change from 8 degrees - -7 degrees Celsius?
Since --7 deg = +7 deg, the change is 1 Celsius degree.
What one degree change in temperature on the Celsius temperature scale is equal to a one unit temperature change on the what temperature scale?
No, the "degrees" have the same name but are different sizes. (Celsius degrees are larger intervals than Fahrenheit degrees.) A change of 1 degree Celsius is the same as a change of 1.8 degrees Fahrenheit.
How do you change temperature from kelvin to degrees celsius?
Subtract 273.15
