because they are like an curling iron that is turned off. you look at it and your mind is like "this is going to be hot." because of mind over matter, it MUST be hot. but, you touch it and (because its turned off) its cold. so that's how things feel hot but are really cold.

Air is cold or hot?

Air can vary in temperature, so it can be cold or hot depending on the environment. Cold air is denser and can feel refreshing, while hot air is lighter and can feel warmer on the skin.


Do cold things have heat?

No, cold things do not have heat. Heat is a form of energy that is transferred from hot objects to cold objects. Cold objects have less heat energy compared to hot objects.


Why is it that when you put the left in cold water and the right hand in hot water and take both out and put them normal water why does the left hand feel hot and the right feel cold?

This is due to the phenomenon known as contrast effect. When you first put your hands in cold and hot water, your nerves respond to the extreme temperatures. When you move them to the lukewarm water, the hand that was in the cold water will perceive the water as hot because of the contrast in temperatures.


Which are less energy hot things or cold things?

Hot things contain more energy compared to cold things. This is because the temperature of an object is directly proportional to its energy content - hotter objects have more kinetic energy in the form of faster moving particles. Thus, hot things require more energy to maintain their temperature compared to cold things.


Why is a cool bag suitable to keep hot things hot and cold things cold?

Hot things get cooler, and cold things get warmer, because they exchange heat with their surroundings. A "cool bag", whatever that is, is apparently designed in such a way as to prevent that (probably it's insulated).

heat transfers to the coldest thing in the area. there for, there is no such thing as hot or cold because when something is cold all you really feel in the loss of heat from your hand to the cold object. same goes for hot. all you really feel is the large amounts of heat that hot object is giving you.
