How does the cooling of planets and potatoes vary with size? A. The smaller the object the harder it is for heat inside to escape B. Larger objects have a smaller surface-area-to-volume ratio and therefore cool more slowly C. Smaller objects have a smaller surface-area-to-volume ratio and therefore cool more slowly D. All hot objects cool at the same rate, regardless of planets and potatoes
