Like a greenhouse, a car with closed doors and windows is a closed space. Heat trapped inside a closed car cannot get out fast.

Although the sunlight heats up both inside and outside of a car at about the same rate, the heat getting inside the car is trapped in a closed space. It cannot get away as fast as the heat outside, where it's an open space and heat can lose freely.

Therefore, the heat inside accumulates much faster than the heat does outside, which is why the inside of a car is hotter than the outdoor temp on a summer day.

Does turning thermostat temperature to higher temp make the air coming out of vents hotter on central ac with heat coil. Significant other swears it does and trying to settle dispute?

Turning the thermostat to a higher temperature does not make the air coming out of the vents hotter on a central AC with a heat coil. The temperature setting on the thermostat simply tells the system when to stop cooling or heating, but it doesn't affect the actual temperature of the air being produced. The heat coil or furnace is responsible for heating the air, not the thermostat setting.

Why does the thermometer go down when the temp gets cold?

A thermometer measures temperature based on the expansion or contraction of the liquid or metal inside it. When it gets cold, the molecules inside the thermometer contract, causing the liquid or metal to shrink, which in turn results in the reading on the thermometer going down.


Why does the temperature decreases when you are outside of an air-condition room?

The temperature decreases when you are outside of an air-conditioned room because the air within the room is cooler due to the air conditioning system. When you step outside, you are exposed to the ambient temperature of the surrounding environment, which is often warmer than the conditioned air inside the room.
