No. Here's a table showing different soil types and their absorption rate.

Is water absorbed at the same rate in different kinds of soil?
No, different soils absorb rain water at different rates.
Does rainwater absorb at the same rate in different kind of soil?
No,different soils absorb rainwater of different rates
What is soil absorbency?
Soil absorbency refers to the rate at which a particular soil takes in water. Different soils have different soil absorbencies.
Is rainwater absorbed at the same rate in different lands of soil?
No, heavy clay soils drain more slowly than sandy soils. In other words, the composition of the soil determines the rate water travels through it.
What is percolation rate?
percolation rate of water is different in different types of soil . it is the highest in the sandy soil and least in the clayey soil. to calculate the percolation rate use this formula- percolation rate (ml/min)amount of water(ml)/percolation time percolation refers to the ability of the soil to absorb water or liquids
Does water air and soil absorb radiant energy at the same rate?
No, it does not
Does rainwater absorb at the same rate in different types of soil?
Different plants have different nutrients , so no
What surface soil type has the slowest permeability rate and is most likely to produce flooding?
Generally, it's the type with the most clay at the surface. Clay type soils are least permeable, especially when disturbed or compacted when wet by agricultural or forestry heavy machinery. The permeability rate of soil can be somewhat inversely related to it's porosity. Clay soils are very porous, since they can hold more water than a sandy or loamy soil type. However, rate of infiltration and permeability are slow. it can take a long time for water to soak into the soil (rain water entering soil prevents over land flow and therefore flooding). Sandy soils are able to quickly absorb water and generally have higher permeability. Caveat - Sandy soils, in temperate and subtropical climates, often have a limiting clay layer somewhere below the surface that restrict water flow through the soil profile at certain depths.

How does the soil type affect the rate of runoff?
a particular soil's ability to soak up moisture affects runoff rate. Sandy soils soak up a lot of water, so usually have a low runoff rate. Clay is very reluctant to take in water, so water runs off of it - it has a high runoff rate.
Does the drying rate vary with different fabrics?
The drying rate varies with different fabrics because these fabrics vary in the absorbency. Materials that absorb more liquid tend to take the longest to dry.
Does skinning a bean help it absorb the water faster?
Yes bean seeds are provided with very hard and impervious seed coat. Water enters in it through micropyle only. If the seed coat is removed (skinned), the hydrophilic proteins inside will absorb water at a faster rate.
How is the percolation rate related to the soil quantity?
Percolation rate is the gradual movement and filtering of water through the spaces or pores in the soil usually expressed as inches per hour or inches per day. A soil with a greater percolation rate can usually absorb more water.
