Q

Temperature

A

How hot or cold something is and measured in degrees Celsius

16
Q

How a thermometer works

A

Particles are liquids
As the material gets hotter it gains more energy and particles move more
Mercury in thermometer gets heated and moves up

17
Q

Vacuum

A

A place with no particle

18
Q

Metals are good conductors

A

Metals have free electrons which collide with other atoms and pass on heat energy

19
Q

Shiny objects in radiation

A

They absorb less heat but reflect it so cools down slower

20
Q

Black objects

A

Absorb more energy by emit more energy so cools down quicker
