**How Trees Help Horses Stay Warm on Cold Nights**On cold, clear nights, horses will sleep under the cover of large trees. How does this help them keep warm?Sleeping under trees provides shelter from wind, reducing heat loss. The canopy acts as insulation, trapping heat from the ground. This natural cover also provides a sense of security, helping horses conserve energy during rest.

Heat transfer takes place through convection, conduction, and radiation. Conduction takes place through contact, convection takes place through a medium, and radiative heat transfer uses electromagnetic radiation.Trees generate energy from sunlight by absorbing carbon dioxide and releasing oxygen during day time. At night they release carbon dioxide and absorb oxygen. Thus at night, they release heat energy as carbon dioxide has more thermal energy than oxygen. This keeps the area close to the tree warmer. Trees with a larger area of cover will be warmer and will keep the horses warm.
