| Question | Answer |
|---|---|
| heat | the transfer of thermal energy from a warmer substance to a cooler one |
| thermal energy | the energy of motion of the particals of mater in a substance |
| kenetic theory of mater | the theory that States that all matter is mad up of tiny constantley moving particals |
| temperature | a measure of the average move ment of particals of matter tempature changes as the particals move faster warmer or slower colder |
| conduction give two examples | a black top drive way heats up faster than water a black car heats up faster than a white car |
| convection two examples | water heats up and so does the air above it |
| radiation | tracks heat |
| rotation & revolution how are they related to day length. | the are related to day lanth depends on how fast the rotates the shorter day length. |
| locations on earth and in the United States receive the most direct light from the sun | the States closes to the equator because the receive more direct light |
| how do the hours of day light change at different locations on earth throught the year | near the: equator longer near north pole: shorter near south pole: shorter |
| how does heat capacity influence temps of inland locations. vs. coastal locations | |
| using what you know about reflected and absorbed energy explain why wearing a white t-shirt and shorts would be better than if you were Waring black and then going to great America on a 90* day | white obsordes less heat than black is a conductor that obsorbs sun light |
