What would have more thermal energy? A bowl of soup or a cup of soup at the same temperature?
|
The bowl of soup would have more thermal energy b/c thermal energy is the TOTAL amount of energy in a given amount of substance.
|
|
|
Do particles in the form of a solid move faster or slower than particles in a gas?
|
Particles in a solid move much slower than in a gas.
Particles of gas move faster and spread farther apart. |
|
|
Does an increase in temperature cause particles to move slower or faster?
|
Faster b/c it the particles move faster when heated.
|
|

|
|
The ozone layer absorbs what? Where is it located?
|
The ozone layer absorbs the ultraviolet rays of the sun. It is located at the bottom of the Stratosphere.
|
|
|
What is the angle of incidence?
|
It is the angle between a ray reaching a surface; the Sun's rays hit the earth at a smaller angle at the equator than at the poles or the farther away we get from the equator.
|
|
|
what is weather?
|
