The discussion above and the accompanying equation (Q = mâ¢Câ¢âT) relates the heat gained or lost by an object to the resulting temperature changes of that object.

The best time of the year to sell a house is the spring. Buyers come out of the woodwork during the spring, and with tax refund checks in the bank, spring buyers more often pay full price. In fact, sales peak in the spring, helping to explain why about 60% of those who move do so in the summer.
