Document Summary
How much everything it takes to raise temp by 1 degree. Changes in water are slower thats why landlocked people will be more susceptible to change in temp. When 2 things have different temperatures and are in contact with one another. Everything with temperature emits radiation people infrared radiation/ heat will emit the same radiation as the earth. Convection heat transfer by fluid movement. When you boil water and heat body surface. Bubbles are being transferred from bottom to top (movement of water) Comp fire all 3 types of heating. Quantify for certain amounts of temperature scales difference based on when they arise. Particles stop moving object has no kinetic energy. Look for other planets that will harbor life. An atmosphere also makes a big difference. Greenhouse gases taken temperatures make it so that we can live on earth. Does not matter what frame of reference will be constant and moves through vac @ speed of light.
