Question

Gina always hangs her beach towels out on the back porch railing to dry. (this is a question for sceince and i really need help. I cant find it anywhere else on the web so please if you know it tell me,thanks)

Answer 1

well probably when its sunny and warm b/c when its cloudy it'll probably very damp in the air. So sunny weather is best to dry clothes.

Answer 2

Could be wrong, but sunny days

Answer 3

Clouds are good reflectors of direct sunlight and thus prevents a part of solar radiation from reaching the earth's surface.But,at the same time, they trap the heat given out by the earth's surface and make the air between the cloud and the surface warm and sultry.This is because a warm air can hold more moisture.Because of this moisture,things will take more time to get dried up.Hence the answer is  'warm sunny days'only.

Answer 4

Warm, cloudy days. It has something to do with atmospheric pressure or the like. I forget why, but it is warm, cloudy days.

Answer 5

I'd say either as long as the humidity is low. The amount of water already in the air is what causes things to take a long time to dry. Also other factors such as wind, actual temperature, and many other things come into play. I am suprised that this question is in science. It is too general for me to answer in a scientific manor.

Answer 6

I would guess it has to do w/evaporation... it is more likely to be more humid on a cloudy day, less evaporation??? So I would guess warm sunny....
