Yes, it retains a fair amount of heat. Anyone who has walked barefoot on dry sand after the sun has been shining on it all day can attest to this.
Silica (SiO2) has a heat capacity of about 700-1000 J/kg·K. It varies depending on the temperature and the structure. Amorphous silica tends to have a lower heat capacity than quartz, which has a defined crystalline structure. The heat capacity increases with increasing temperature.

Does a greenhouse retain or release heat?
Compared to the external environment, a greenhouse will retain heat.
Will a tarp effectively retain heat?
Yes, a tarp can effectively retain heat by providing a barrier that traps heat and prevents it from escaping.
Why do water molecules retain heat energy?
Water molecules retain energy due to heat transfer.
Do patio blinds retain heat within the patio?

What could you heat water in that would retain the heat the longest?
A vacuum would retain the heat best, hence a thermos flask has a vacuum around it =-)
What is the specific heat of silica?
The specific heat of silica, also known as silicon dioxide (SiO2), is approximately 0.703 J/g°C. This value represents the amount of heat needed to raise the temperature of one gram of silica by 1 degree Celsius.
Is it true that soil cannot retain heat?
No, soil can retain heat. Soil acts as a thermal insulator by trapping heat from the sun during the day and releasing it slowly at night. The ability of soil to retain heat depends on factors such as composition, moisture content, and depth.
How effectively does glass retain heat?
Glass is not a good insulator and does not retain heat well. It allows heat to escape easily, making it less effective at keeping warmth in.
Canvas fabric hot packs in hydrocollator has what in it?
Canvas fabric hot packs in hydrocollators are typically filled with silica gel or a similar material that can absorb and retain heat when heated in water. The fabric encases the gel to prevent direct contact with the skin and aid in heat retention during therapy sessions.
Silica gel re genreating?
Place the Silica Gel on a oven safe dish and heat at 250°F for 60 minutes.
Why the moon is colder?
No atmosphere to retain heat
What is a Greek rooted word which means a container intended to retain the heat of a liquid?
A Greek-rooted word which means a container intended to retain the heat of a liquid is thermos.
