Why does the wood furniture creak at night after a hot day?
When a substance is heated particles within it gain energy and vibrate more rapidly i.e. the internal energy of the substance increases. When the furniture is exposed to heat on a warm day the furniture expands. During the nights when it is not as warm as during the day the furniture contracts which causes it to creak.
