Feeling hotness in the foot first....
Have you ever experienced when you walk on your bare foot, the foot feels the hotness of the soil rather than the rest of your body, and have you wondered why is it so?
Well, some of you know the reason, for some it is new....
So, here is the reason it is due to the radiational heating of the soil first, rather than the atmosphere.
If you remember the last post on lag of few hours, you can guess the logic behind this and I think some of you guessed it right....
Let us dive into this topic briefly now....
When sun rays pass through the atmosphere, our atmosphere acts transparent like that of a glass house. Meaning, it allows all the rays to pass through them on a clear sunny day. The rays, when they reach the surface of our earth, it heats the soil, and then the soil heats up the air. This means first the earths surface heats up due to radiation and then this heats the air near the surface. This is the reason we experience hot soil even before experiencing hotness in the air.
Now you know why we feel hotness on the foot first.... When we understand science, we start to enjoy every small thing that happens around us...So, start experiencing these small things.
At the end of the day all of us want to be happy, and for me understanding these small things made me feel happy as I start to experience them in the course of my life and more happier when I share the gained knowledge with you readers...I hope you also feel happy when you know new things and share them.
Have a happy and wonderful day and Enjoy Life With Science.
Stay tuned....
