it heats up much faster, the specific heat value of water is very low, and the specific heat value of land is almost always higher than that of water.

Why do wet clothes dry quickly on a sunny day?
because the heat causes the water to evaporate
Is snowflake a solid?
A snowflake is not a solid, just like snow or ice is not a solid, a snoeflake is just frozen rain.
From what sources does water evaporate?
Water will evaporate from any source, especially when heat is present. If in a closed container it will just turn to condensation. But if in a lake or stream, It will be absorbed into the clouds.
Does warm humid air feel warmer than warm dry air?
NO! Definitely not.Humid means more water vapour, more water vapour, more heat loss as water vapour is still water and it can conduct heat away from the air and warm dRy air is just warm air basically. =3
Why does 20 degree Celsius water feel colder than 20 degree air?
Water has a higher "specific heat" than air, meaning that heat will conduct away far better through water than it will through air. It is exactly the same temperature as the air around it (assuming it has been sitting there for a while), but it FEELS colder if you touch it.The human body needs to be able to dissipate some heat, just because we burn calories and create heat through our normal activity. Air at about 75 degrees gives us plenty of cooling ability without cooling us too much. Since water has a higher specific heat and conducts better than air it pulls heat out of our bodies far more efficiently, causing us to loose body heat at a higher rate. If we're only sticking our finger in the room temperature water, it just feels cool. If we climb into a swimming pool of "room temperature" water, we'll feel quite uncomfortable.
Can a solar panel run all appliances in a household?
no it just heats the water and if you want it can heat the radiators !
Why wet clothes dry up when iron?
The extreme heat from the iron heats up the water in the clothes to the point where the water just begins to evaporate from the clothes
How do you evaporate pop?
If you have salty water for example, and you wish to have just the salt, you must heat the solution. As the solutution heats, the water will evaporate, but the salt will stay, as it cant be evaporated.
Is a pool heat pump a pump also or does it require a pump?
A heat pump's name is a bit deceiving, it's just an appliance that heats water. You still need a normal pump and filter combination to move and filter the water.
Why handkerchief dries when ironed?
Why a wet handkerchief dries up when iron.
One substance that heats more slowly than many other substances is?
The substance that heats more slowly than other substances could be water. But this idea is based on the high heat capacity of water. It takes more thermal energy (heat) to elevate the temperature of a given amount of water than an equal amount of another substance. But other substances might heat more slowly than water because heat does not travel "into" or "through" them very well. Different experiments may yield different results.
What are the waves that carry rays of heat in an oven called?
For The conventional oven, there would be convection that heats and re-heats the air. As the heat rises, it peaks and cools, then drops back down just to be heated up again.
How do you test water pump on a 1997 Ford Taurus?
Take the thermostat out, start the car and let it idle, see if it over heats. With the thermostat out of your car, it should just constantly circulate water, making it take longer to heat up. If it heats up fast then chances are that your pump is out. DO NOT LET THE CAR REDLINE.
How does a solar heating system heat water on a cold day?
Yes it can supply some hot water on cold days but it also needs a booster. You can't rely on just a solar heater because they will NOT work on overcast, snow etc. That is when your booster kicks in and heats the water.
Is the dish washer connected to cold or hot water?
Cold - the machine heats the water as required (just as a washing machine does)
Can you heat the water in satellite?
Yes. Just like astronauts can heat air in a satellite you can heat and boil water.
You just drove through water and now your car is making a rattling noise like there is a loose bolt?
It is a heat shield on your exhaust pipe or muffler. The hot pipe when splashed by cold water cause the metal to expand and contract so quickly the weld cracked off and the heat shield now rattles It is a heat shield on your exhaust pipe or muffler.
