Soil will lose heat faster than water.
This depends on the specific heat of the two substances you are comparing. Specific heat of a substance is the amount of energy required to raise its temperature by 1 degree celsius. It also describes the amount of energy the substance would have to lose to change the temperature by one degree.
The specific heat of water is unusually high (1 calorie/gram of water). The specific heat of granite, which is similar to the specific heat of soil minerals, is only 0.19 calorie/gram of granite).
Dry soil will lose heat more slowly than wet soil.

In soil, this has got less density and less energy. It is radiated away fast.
The answer could be that soil releases heat faster.
It does however depend on circumstances true to the experiment done.
A sample of 100 kilo of soil (in a perfect cube) that is preheated to 50 Degrees Celsius.
100 liters of water (in a perfect cube ) preheated to 50 Degrees Celsius.
Put both samples in a freezer.
The water would distribute all its heat a lot faster, making it cool down evenly and sort of fast.
The soil would very quickly loose temperature around the edges, but since soil works very well as an insulator, this would make it keep a high temperature in the middle for absolutely ages.
It do depend on the circumstances true to the experiment done.

∙ 14y agoNo, water does not heat up or cool down faster than soil. This is because soil has lower specific heat. Specific heat is how long it takes for a substance to heat up or cool down.

Does land lose heat faster than water?
Soil is solid. Its molecules are close to one another so it heats faster. It also cools faster. Water is liquid. Molecules in liquids are farther apart so water heats more slowly............ Andre Ü
What happens to the temperature of equal volumes of soil and water when they are placed in the sunshine for 30 minits?
I assume that water and soil are separate, rather than a wet soil? The temperature of the dark soil would heat up faster than the water - as dark colours absorb heat.
Factors affecting the temperature of soil?
Humus content of the soil. What think the heat scientists about black surfaces and heat absorption? Black surfaces absorb heat faster and contain it longer. Mostly, humus is black or dark in color. Soil with much of the humus content tends to absorb more heat and gets heated faster than soil c9ontaining less humus.
Does a green onion grow faster in water or in soil?
A green onion grows faster in water because the onion will absorb the nutrients in the water when an onion doesn't even need soil to grow at all.
Is soil the highest specific heat capacity?
Water has a higher Specific Heat than soil. The very highest is ammonia.
What holds heat longer soil or water?
Soil absorbs heat much faster than water, but water does not have air in between like soil so it doesnt lose heat as fast, so water holds heat longer
What can heat faster water or soil?
Water heats faster than soil
Which substance would heat up faster air water soil or sand?
Soil
Will water heat faster then land?
Someone Else:No because water has a higher specific heat than soil No because water has a higher specific heat than soil Also because water as a higher heat capacity than land. Duhh... It is not because of whatever that other person wrote. I'm just improving their answer! Yay Me!!! No.land will absorbs heat faster than water Beause the soil locks heat in
Does soil absorb radiation better than water?
Water absorbs and conducts radiation better. ex. electricity is a form of radiation this is false because water will take longer to absorb heat than soil but when the source of heat is gone the water will insulate more heat than the soil, therefore the water will keep heat longer than soil but the soil will heat up faster.

Why does soil heat up faster then water?
well because the soil sits in the sin all day so then its used to light. as for water it really doesn't sit in the sun all day. so that is why soil heats up faster than water
Which warms faster soil or water?
soil warms faster than water.
Do sand heat up faster than soil?
sand heats faster than soil
Why does sand heat up faster than soil?
Soil heats up faster than sand because soil is more moist and has certain chemical in it so that it is partially flammable. I hope ive helped! Love, 2016127
Which heats faster dry soil or wetsoil?
Dry soil heats faster than Wet soil because water has a higher thermal inertia than air. Moist soil contains more water, and thus will heat and cool slower than soil mixed with air (dry soil) which has a lower thermal inertia.
