Hot water heater - hot water doesn't need heating\n\nIt takes all kinds to make the world go round - no it doesn't. We just happen to HAVE all kinds.\n\nThe calm before the storm - really? If it weren't calm, it would be a STORM.\n\nIt's darkest before the dawn - the earth has just gone through night, and it will take sunlight 8.5 minutes to reach earth. Thus it is the darkest just before the dawn.\n\nAny more?

"Worked like a dog."  When was he last time you saw a dog work?\n\n"Slept like a baby."  Babies wake up all the time in the middle of the night, crying and screaming!\n\n"Selling like hotcakes."  The last time you bought a hotcake was...?\n\n"Fit as a fiddle." Since when are fiddles any more fit than any other instrument?

The sun will grow until it engulfs the Earth before it burns out.  And long before that, the temperature will get way too hot and evaporate all the water, and the planet will no longer be able to support life.

Until the Great Flood, there were no seasons; the weather was always temperate. After the Flood, G-d tells Noah that there will be constant seasonal changes (Genesis 8:22). \n\nRabbi Meir Leibush (Malbim) explains this as follows: Until the Flood, the earth's axis had no tilt relative to the sun. As a result of the flood, the earth's axis tilted in relation to the sun. Thus, the earth's climate changed drastically, resulting in a weakening of the human constitution and ability to withstand these constant changes in weather. \n\nThus, as a prelude to the Flood, G-d says "I won't constantly contend concerning Man … his life-span shall be 120 years (Genesis 6:3). The Ibn Ezra explain this to mean that lifetimes would gradually decrease, until the maximum will be around 120. \n\nI hope that answers your question about why people don't live as long today as they once did. \n\nAs for technology's inability to slow the aging process, that's more a problem with technology than with the Bible. "The scientific study of aging is a young discipline" (National Geographic Nov. '97). Compared to many areas of science, relatively little is known about aging. Richard A. Knox refers to the "black box of aging," and calls it a "mystery" (The Boston Globe 1997). \n\nBy way of example, take the case of Jeanne Calment who died in France last year at the age of 122. Why did she live so long? No one knows. Why did she stop living? "Officials gave no specific cause of death" (Houston Chronicle News Services 8/5/97). If she had lived another ten - or 100 - years, it wouldn't have contradicted any law of science.

A large storm pulls energy from as far around as it can reach. Therefore if the storm moving is pulling all the heat and moisture out of the air around it, then there is a void of mayhem, a calm, before the actual storm throws back all that was there to begin with.

because hot water has more energy than cold, giving the molecules more energy to move(melt)faster\n\n (i am trying to get to level 2 best answerer would help)

Exactly!! I have to boil water to take a bath. I do not have the luxury of a shower! I use gas for heat not central air and heat. I have to go out and turn on the water directly from underground so that I can fill it up in the tub. I also do dishes in the tub. I live in the United States doing this! I do not see myself as poor, but rich because my family is together and happy. I do not live like that and prefer not to because I like only having what I need to survive not a big house with lots of money. It is of no interest to me or concern. It is boring!! How is that for being against the normal American stereotype!! haahha!

Only the wind is dependent on the radiant energy from the sun.  Wind is caused by uneven heating on the Earth's surface.  That heating is caused by the Sun.\n\nFossils fuels need air to burn and are from the ground\nHydroelectricity is from flowing water--depends on gravity.\n"All of these" can't be a choice if at least one can be eliminated from the list <-- a multiple choice test rule!\n\nThis is probably a test question.  The operative word in this question is "dependent".  Take it from a retired New York State Regents Earth Science teacher.

Well, that's the Moon's day and night, not ours.  But the moon has no atmosphere, so there is nothing to moderate the power of the sun in the daytime, and nothing to stop heat loss at night.  The extremes of temperature are just one of the many things we will have to cope with when we colonize the moon.  Robert Heinlein (and other science fiction writers) speculated that we will burrow underground to live not on, but in the moon.  Makes sense from the standpoint of temperatures, and also to trap and protect whatever air we can collect in our caves.  After all, since there is no atmosphere, we will either have to import it from earth or manufacture it there by processing rocks.  Obviously, the second choice is going to be a lot cheaper.

for radiation - how about someone sitting under the sun? Radiant energy is what heats you from the sun.\n\nFor convection (you seem to change your mind if you want convection or conduction info) you could think in terms of how a convector heater works - the warm air circulating the heat around the room. Convection also applies to liquids too - think of the water in the kettle and the water currents inside making all of the water heat more-or less together.\n\nFor conduction, how about a saucepan sitting on top of a cookers' hotplate?\n\nHeating by radiation is through infrared heat - from the sun, from a light bulb - even a bonfire but that can also be from convection too. Think in terms of "heatwaves" with radiation perhaps.\n\nConduction of heat is when two surfaces of dissimilar temperature are brough together. Some of the heat will travel by conduction (touching) to the cooler object.

Because it takes a lot more energy to change the temperature of water than it does to change the air temp, since water is considerably denser.  The large body of water thus acts as a "heat-sink" holding on to heat during the day and releasing it into the air at night to keep the temperatures more moderate.\n\nBy the way, "moderate" doesn't just mean warmer in the winter, it can also mean cooler in the summer -- just less extreme all year 'round.  The same way the water holds on to heat during the winter, it stays cooler in the summer and moderates summer temps by being a constant cool source and through evaporation.

The time from just before dawn until the sun is up.  A new beginning, a new day, peacefulness and quiet before the rush of the day's activities.  The absolute best place to see it is to see the sun rise out of the ocean, especially from the deck of a sailboat while you are cruising under sail with no engine.

I think if you have a really hot or really cold bath it can make your heart beat faster so its not so easy to get to sleep. I always have really hot baths and i find this! But a warm bath is good for relaxing before bed.

God said let there be light, some say this could have been the big bang, and I think it could.\n\nGod created "day" and "night" before He created the sun. "Day" was what the light was called, and "night" was what the darkness was called. One day and night lasts for 24 hours because it takes 24 hours for the earth to complete a rotation, and because the sun is the source of our light.\n\nBut, since light was created before the sun, it is obvious in the Bible that God's day was not dependent on the sun as the source of light, and we cannot therefore know how long His days were in Genesis. "Day" means "light", and that can mean an earth day, or it can mean some other period of time in which there is light.\n\nSo, yes, the theory is valid. It has Biblical support.\n\nThey merge in my mind quite well, by the way. Some say it's a sin to think this way, but I don't think it is a sin to make sense.

water "boils" when the Kinetic energy (energy of motion and heat) cause the molecules of water to expand or separate far enough away that it changes from a liquid to a gas. The greater the force keeping the molecules together, the more energy it needs. On Earth, the force is air pressure. At sea level where the pressure is greatest, water boils at about 100 degrees Celsius. Up in the mountains at 7000 feet it would boil at 80 -90 degrees or even less. In space even the smallest amount of energy would cause it to "boil".\nIt takes one calorie to raise one gram of water one degree Celsius. If you trap the water in a container, you can get the heat of the water much higher than the boiling point. But it could explode if the container is too weak to handle the pressure. So don't try it.

a long time ago during slavery time. a mans wife was about to give birth. the man had to send for a doctor. so he got in his    carriage and rode off into the night. but before he went he told one of his servents to make sure that he held a light out for him to see because it was an unusually cold blizzard. the man stood outside so long that he froze. and in memory of the servant the man made a statue for him. this caught on to wat it is today. origanally the statue has a lantern in his hand.

Okay add Dr. Education to the list of idiots, I have always called it the hot water heater.  I shall behave in the future.\n\nte he.\n\n/doc
