Why does the presence of the molecule change the Earth’s temperature? Create a sketch that illustrates the greenhouse effect by showing: - infrared radiation originating at the Earth’s surface - a carbon dioxide molecule (with springs) in the atmosphere - any radiation absorbed by the molecules being reemitted in a random direction

Hovering over the surface of our skin is a layer of air some 3 millimeters in thickness that acts as a thermal blanket. On a hot day, what effect does a breeze on bare skin have on your skin? What effect does it have on a cold day?
What are the main methods of heat transfer from the hot core of Earth to its surface? From Earth’s surface to outer space? When our bodies get too warm, they respond by sweating and increasing blood circulation to the surface to transfer thermal energy away from the core. What effect will this have on a person in a 40.0ºC hot tub?

How does human harness the heat beneath ground? Explain
A thermopane window consists of two glass panes, each 0.50 cm thick, with a 1.0-cm-thick sealed layer of air in between. If the inside surface temperature is 8°C and the outside surface temperature is 0.0°C, determine the rate of energy transfer through 1.75m2 of the window. Compare your answer to (a) with the rate of energy transfer through 75m2 of a single 1.0-cm-thick pane of glass. Disregard surface air layers. (Find the rate of energy transfer.)
Supposed your refrigerator can remove heat at a power of 100 watts (100 joules per second), how long will it take to cool a liter of water from room temperature to 5°C? ( (Assuming the water is the only thing inside the fridge.) Hint: 1 calorie = 4.184 joules
The figure shows a cut-away drawing of a thermos bottle (also known as a Dewar flask), which is a device designed specifically to slow down all forms of heat transfer. Explain the functions of the various parts, such as the vacuum, the silvering of the walls, the thin-walled long glass neck, the rubber support, the air layer, and the stopper.
In the ball-and-spring atomic model for thermal expansion, the statement “More thermal energy means each spring stretches more” leads to the mathematical statement: (∝ means proportional to) ΔL ∝ L0 ΔL ∝ k ΔL ∝ ΔT ΔL ∝ α
What is third law of thermodynamics? How does it lead us to the concept of absolute zero?
At night, the surface of the earth cools, mostly by radiation. The surface radiates energy upward; the much cooler sky above radiates much less. Patches of ground under trees can stay warmer, which is why, if you livesomewhere that has cold, clear nights, you may have noticed some mornings when there is frost on open patches of ground but not under trees. Why does being under a tree keep the ground warmer?
What is quality? Does it have any meaning in the superheated vapor region?
if you are wearing clothes to prevent heat from escaping your body in the winter, how do you explain wearing more clothes in the summer so that you prevent heat from entering your body?
