There is less atmosphere to hold the heat in.

That question was answered many times already.

Just thought I'd get my two cents in.

its closest to space which is fricken freezing.

cause there is not so mtch air pressure, and so the heat cannot be easuily or rapidly transported

The small amounts of heat cause the water's particles to spread, making it a gas. Because the gas is lighter then air, It rises

and why can I see steam when I piss? Is my urine at the boiling point, i poured boiling water on my willy as an experiment and it burned like hell, pee pee doesnt burn so bad.

You see steam when you piss? Anyway, it's probably the affect of hot liquid coming in contact with cold liquid

But how? Water doesnt boil until its at 100 degrees celsius, mixing a hot liquid with a cold liquid will reduce the temperature hence making steam less likely.

You know what, even though that post was way before mine, I gotta say something, why'd you pour boiling water on you willy? Even as a joke, thats way too serious a thing to joke about. When I read about you pouring boiling water there *cringe*, I cringed. Anyways, yeah whatever, about 20 people have already answered your questions, so I won't do it again.

Dont knock it till youve tried it. Varying heat on ones manhood can heighten enjoyment at point of climax. I.E Putting a wee dob of ice cream in a condom and having a posh wank is divine. Scalding ones manparts with boiling water also has a great effect.

So try it kids, put your penis in boiling water, you'll thank me for it.

I still think you're crazy for playing life or death games like that. Ice cream?.... ... ........... Oh well

Gases, liquid and solids are the three main states. Gases being the least dense and solids typically having the highest density. So why does ice float?

Heat doesn't rise by the way, cold drops.

Think about gravity. Heavy things fall. Air has mass.

Therefore, air gets pulled down to the ground.

How, as for heat; heat is the result of fast moving matter/atoms.

So, by using the statements above, air is warmer closer to the ground, simply because there is more air to hold in the heat.

The higher you go, the less air there is (thin air), and the less heat it can retain.

As well, sunlight heats the ground, which warms it. This helps the fact that that ground level air is warmer, because solids can retain more heat that gasses.

This is a unique trait found only in H2O. This compound separates while freezing and actually decreases it's density as a solid. As well, tiny amounts of air get trapped in the ice, causing it to lose density.

It is one of the many strange properties of water, and one that allows life on earth to exist.

But why does it "separate" while freezing?

Just an oddity of nature really. When the water (which is very dense to begin with) freezes, it comes together as crystals. You can see this by looking at an ice cube, or by shattering one.

The crystal form simply takes up more room than the liquid form (ala beer bottle in the freezer = boom). As it takes up more room for the same mass, it's density is lower.

Fresh water has a density of 1

yes yes, but why does it take up more room than the liquid form?

Shape and design of the crystals, paired up with the trapment of air molecules. But why? Just a property of nature. Just like, why does water freeze at 0C, why not -15? No real reason, just that's how the compound reacts in nature.

And lucky for us as well, as it allows our lakes and rivers to stay alive during winter. Without this, fish would die from water freezing at the bottom of the lake, rivers would overflow from banks freezing, and the enviroment and life on this planet would be very different, if it existed at all.

This is the reason scientists believe that planets with no water would have a very hard time sustaining life.

beacause the if you go on to extremely high elevavations it gets fucking cold

mwahahaha the answer! The air is thin up their and that causes the air to get cold. the heat starts to rise and the higher it gets the cooler it gets because the air is getting thinner! so hence bye the time it gets up to the top of mountains its at freezing tempricture! HA

You're basing your question on a flawed assumption, namely that phases change totally and immediately at a certain temperature.

In reality, all that has to happen is for the molecules at the surface to gain enough energy to break the surface tension and enter the gaseous state. A lot of times, they'll steal some of the energy they need from the water below them in the puddle. This is why sweating cools you down.

Surface chemistry is weird.

If no-one has already answered, because the air is thinner the higher up you go and is therefore less capable of carrying heat by conduction - because there's less of it. Therefore it carries less heat and the air is colder and water freezes up there.

Isn't this why theres separate cooking instructions usually for higher elevations?

oh.

Hydrogen bonding.

When water is a liquid, the hydrogen bonding between the bent H2O molecules cause the molecules to line up really close together, making a fairly dense liquid.

When water freezes, it forms itself into a crystal lattice structure (all minerals do this), which packs the molecules less efficiently than the liquid state.

Well done that chappy. That was the answer i was looking for. However, you seem to have overlooked my request for smart people not to answer these questions. Now there is a correct answer, people are less likely to amuse me with stupid explanations.

As you go farther from the ground level, the amount of air pressure decreases, and thus the air is not a squashed together. Where smushed air caused heat due to friction and volume, the freer air higher up is not so cramped, and thus the heat is far less. This is why it takes a lower temp to boil water higher up a mountain

Because the higher it goes the more it drifts apart so that with lack of oxygen = coldness!
