When sand and water are exposed to the same radiation sand becomes hotter than water. Why?
Sand absorbs a higher percentage of the radiation than water does. Water reflects more radiation and allows more radiation to pass through it than sand does.
A beach towel is laying on the sun why does the sad feel hotter to touch than than the towel?
the sand has higher conductivity
Why does sand get hotter than dirt?
the sun rays hit the ground"sand " it becomes heated up and holds most of the heat directed from the sun. grass is much cooler because it absorbs water or dew not like mountain dew the dew in the mornings on the grass or cars. The sun will eventually dry it out but the grass holds it to cool it self later
When you mix sand and water it sinks to the bottom so what do you call that?

Is a solid that separates from a solution and generally settles to the bottom of the container?
When we mix water and sand, the sand being heavier settles to the bottom of the mixture. This process is called sedimentation and it is used for water purification. The sand or the impurities are called the sediment.When the solid sediment in a solution. Then the solid is called precipitate and the phenomena so occurred is called precipitation.
Why sand gets hotter faster than water?
