Question

Why do you think it takes a long time to heat a room with a high ceiling?

Answer 1

Answer:

High ceilings make a room feel large and open, but they can be difficult to cool and heat. Because hot air rises, the challenge becomes trying to keep the hot air where you want it and preventing if from being wasted where you don't.

Answer 2

Because the molecules lose some of the energy as they reach a high ceiling  

Explanation:

• The heat that generates rises up to the ceiling as heated molecules move quickly to fill the empty space.
• As they move up and around, they collide with each, lose some of their energy.
• In a room of low ceiling, molecules quickly reach the ceiling without losing energy.
• This is why it takes longer to warm up a room with a high ceiling.
