Kids! We’re having hot oblong spheroids for dinner!!! On this explainer, Neil deGrasse Tyson and comic co-host Chuck Nice break down hot potatoes and specific heat. How do objects get hot, hot, HOT?!
We explore specific heat. How much energy does it take to heat an object up by one degree? Discover how objects gain heat and how long they will retain it. What’s the difference between potatoes and toast? Why do we say hot potato instead of hot toast? Can a potato keep your hands warm in the winter? You’ll learn some mealtime tips like how to prepare a meal so that everything is the same temperature at the same time. Find out about the thermodynamics of food on another StarTalk explainer!
