can someone please tell me why air temperature drops quicker then soil temperature in a freezer?

Answer 1

soil is thicker and more compact than the air..therefore soil keeps heat in longer than wat the air would when the temperature changes in the freezer.

Answer 2

The soil temperature is a solid and air is a gas. It is easier to cool down a gas then a solid.The dew point temperature is defined as the temperature at which the air becomes saturated with water vapor when the air is cooled by removing sensible heat. It is very important in meteorology because it is directly related to the amount of water vapor in the air and it can be used to determine other variables (e.g., vapor pressure, relative humidity, wet bulb temperature, and vapor pressure deficit) that are often used in agriculture. In addition, the dew point measured during nighttime is often a good first guess for the next morning's minimum temperature.Based on the definition, a simple method to measure the dew point temperature involves cooling a surface until water vapor begins to condense on the surface. This is the principle used in a chilled mirror hygrometer, which is used to measure the dew point.

Answer 3

I am not sure, but it could be because
Air molecules are very far apart. When frozen they are packed together.

Molecules of the different substances in soil are usually already packed together, so there could be a difference in that Air molecules pack more than the soil.
Eg if air molecules come together with distance A
soil molecules only move a distance

Answer 4

I'm not sure, but I think that would be an excellent Science Fair project. I think it has something to do with density. Air would be less dense than soil, and would cool down quicker....????...Just a thought.

Answer 5

If you were to believe some of the stuff being claimed by the greenhouse gas followers air will warm up in a freezer because CO2 traps heat and nothing can uptrap the heat CO2 traps.

Answer 6

The soil is made of decomposing matter. Decomposition causes heat. If you don't believe me, stick your hand in a pile of compost. There is a lot of heat in decompostion. Compost piles will spontaneously combust given the right enviroment.

Answer 7

Density

Answer 8

Soil is more dense.
