Why don't we see a beautiful sunset every day?
In order to have a beautiful sunset, there has to be water vapor or other particulates in the air to diffuse the light. But there can't be too much or they totally block the light. The presence of clouds and dust in the air in the correct percentages are what make the colors that we associate with a beautiful sunset.
What are the 3 main reasons of drought?
High pressure, and a dry spell are the main features of a drought.Features of a drought are rivers running dry, trees going leafless, grass going yellow then brown so there is nothing for ruminants to eat.
How much waters is on earth?
Water covers 71% of the Earth's surface. It is impossible to tell exactly how much water is on Earth due primarily to the vast size of the Earth and also the amount of water in the air in the form of water vapor.Otherwise, the collective mass of water found on, under, and over the surface of a planet is called the hydrosphere. Earth's approximate water volume (the total water supply of the world) is 1 360 000 000 km³ (326 000 000 mi³ or 3.59×1020 US gallons). Of this volume:1 320 000 000 km³ (316 900 000 mi³ or 97.2%) is in the oceans.25 000 000 km³ (6 000 000 mi³ or 1.8%) is in glaciers, ice caps and ice sheets.13 000 000 km³ (3 000 000 mi³ or 0.9%) is groundwater.250 000 km³ (60 000 mi³ or 0.02%) is fresh water in lakes, inland seas, and rivers.13 000 km³ (3 100 mi³ or 0.001%) is atmospheric water vapor at any given time.--Wikipedia, (2009?)
Why is the coldest part of the day occur 1 hour before dawn?
The coldest part of the day is NOT 1 hour before dawn. All other factors being equal, the coldest part of the day generally occurs about 30 minutes AFTER sunrise. It may seem logical to think that air temperature bottoms out just before sunrise and then begins to warm with dawn's early light. However: Between sunset and sunrise, the Earth's surface gathers no solar energy but continues to radiate away its stored heat. During the night, the surface also loses radiant heat faster than it steals heat from other sources, and thus its temperature, and that of the air in contact with it, drops steadily. At dawn, when the first light beams across the landscape, the incoming solar radiation is very weak. It does not yet have enough strength to counter all the heat escaping from the surface. As a result, the surface continues to lose heat for some time following sunrise, and the air temperature continues to fall. At some point, the solar rays shine strongly enough to counter the heat loss. The gain-loss balance is shifted, and the air finally begins to warm up. Now, remember that if clouds toll in or a front comes in during the night, this will have an effect. But as a rule of thumb: the coldest temperature is about 30 minutes after sunrise.
Will powered lime under a house cause damage to the plastic vapor barrier?
No lime is not caustic-lye is.
What are 3 examples of green house gas?
Carbon Dioxide (CO2), Methane gas, and Water Vapor believe it or not.
Is plastic ok to use as a vapor barrier on the inside of a house?
2 to 6 ml. visqueen is commonly used as a vapor barier on the inside of exterior walls, before drywall installation, if that's the application that you are referring to.
What is stops one 1 radiator in a house from getting hot all the way in a vapor heating system?
air locked
If the exterior walls have tyvek on them do you need to put plastic vapor barrier on the inside walls?
No. You need to let the house breathe.
Can you use house wrap inside house?
House wrap is typically used on the exterior of a house as a weather-resistant barrier to protect against moisture infiltration. It is not recommended to use house wrap inside the house because it is not designed for interior applications. Inside the house, other materials like vapor barriers or insulation are more appropriate for different purposes.
What is the gas state of water in two words?
You mean vapor?
What are the five green house gasses?
CO^2, CH_4, N_2O, H_2O, Carbon dioxide, methane, nitrous oxyde, and water vapor
What is the root word of evaporation?
The root word of evaporation is "vapor," which comes from the Latin word "vapor."
What is difference between vapor pressure and vapor density?
Vapor pressure is the pressure exerted by a vapor in equilibrium with its condensed phase (liquid or solid) at a given temperature. Vapor density, on the other hand, is the mass of a vapor per unit volume of air. In essence, vapor pressure relates to the equilibrium between the vapor and its condensed phase, while vapor density pertains to the mass of vapor in a given volume of air.
What are the 4 most common gases in house fire?
The four most common gases in a house fire are carbon monoxide, carbon dioxide, water vapor, and nitrogen. These gases are produced as various materials in the house burn and release their components into the air during a fire.
What is Definition of superheated vapor?
superheated vapor is a vapor that has been heated above its boiling point.
