Why Does Body-Temperature Air Feel Hot?
You'd think that air that was the same temperature as your body would feel neutral, but if you've ever been outside when it's 37 degrees Celsius out... you know that's not the case! Hosted by: Stefan Chin

Fire, Lightning, and Crystals in Space: 20 Years on the ISS
2020 marks two decades of people living and working about the ISS, and from fireballs to microgravity grown crystals, they've been keeping busy.

Extraterrestrial Superstorms
Earth has its share of monster storms, but even our most powerful hurricanes are a breeze compared to the great, planet-sized tempests of the gas giants.

Why We Want to Find Plate Tectonics in Space
It’s not easy to find active plate tectonics on other worlds, but doing so may bring us one step closer to finding a planet that can support life.

The Planets with Inside-Out Weather
Way out in the solar system, the heat of the Sun drops off dramatically, so the gas giants get just a tiny percent of the solar radiation that reaches Earth. Instead, their weather is fueled from the inside out!

Making a Realistic Simulation of the Sun
We’ve created simulations to recreate the difference in time it takes for the Sun’s equator and poles to complete rotations, and the way we’ve solved is a bit surprising. And it looks like the Milky Way may not be great at mixing metals,...

What Does the Atmosphere Do Crash Course Geography
Much like a cell membrane, our atmosphere forms a protective boundary between outer space and the biosphere that allows for all life to exist on Earth’s surface. Today, we’re going to talk about its composition and layers (the...

Why Does Smoke Follow You Around a Fire?
You know how you somehow end up getting smoke in your eyes wherever you stand around a bonfire? Well, it turns out that’s not a curse! It’s much more easily explained with physics. "The more protractors, the better the party." ~Hank Green

Heating
In this video Paul Andersen explains how heating is the transfer of energy (heat) from a warmer object to a cooler object. Heat can be transferred through conduction, convection and radiation. At the microscopic level conduction results...

The Chemistry of Fried Food
You know it, and you love it. Fried food! But there’s more to fried dishes than just plopping food into hot oil. You have to know what’s up with the food you’re cooking and what oils will work best for you dish.

Heat Transfer: Crash Course Engineering #14
Today we’re talking about heat transfer and the different mechanisms behind it. We’ll explore conduction, the thermal conductivity of materials, convection, boundary layers, and radiation.

Thermoregulation
Paul Andersen explains how organisms are able to regulate their internal body temperature (or not). He starts with a brief description conduction, convection, radiation and metabolism. He contrasts ectotherms and endotherms. He also...

Heat
In this video Paul Andersen explains how heat is the movement of energy from an object with a higher temperature to an object with lower temperature. Heat transfer can occur through conduction, convection, and radiation.

How Igloos Turn Snow into Toasty Havens
An igloo is made of compressed snow. Compact hardened snow is a great insulator of heat because snow is nothing but semi-frozen water with roughly 95% trapped air. The air molecules trapped between the tiny ice crystals create air...

Why Is Space Cold If There Are So Many Stars?
Space is filled with countless stars, all of which radiate enormous amounts of heat. These stars are tens of thousands of times bigger than our own sun. Still, space is considered to be cold. Why is that? If there are so many hot burning...
