6. Heat capacity: atmosphere vs. water
& thermal stability of water
a. Specific Heat: 1 cal to raise 1g (1ml) water 1oC
b. Latent heat of evaporation (absorb heat)
-Removes ~580cal / g water evaporated
(so, 1g evaporated can cool 580g 1oC)
c. Latent heat of fusion [freezing](radiate heat)
-Add ~80cal / g water frozen
(so, 1g frozen can heat 80g 1oC)
