Any object will "try" to retain heat energy. The material determines how well it will accomplish this. For example, metal is a good conductor, so a sheet of metal will not retain heat very well. Air, or the other hard, is a bad conductor, so fiberglass insolation (will it's many air pockets) will tend to retain heat for some time.

Because due to the properties of darker colored matter it absorbs heat and retains it while it is repelled or it passes through clear glass
What type of material retains heat the best?
insulators although they take a long time to heat up, it takes a longer time to cool down. that's why if you heat water in a metallic container it takes more time for the water to cool down than the coontainer.
Why does glass feel warm when you touch it?
Glass feels warm when you touch it because it absorbs and retains heat from its surroundings. When your body comes into contact with the glass, heat flows from your skin to the glass, making it feel warm.

Does sandstone retain heat?
All rock retains heat. Darker rocks such as schist or obsidian are darker and as a result store heat and retain it more efficiently. Sandstone is often lighter and more reflective.
Why is it cooler in the mountains and warmer in the city?
ANSWER:Its not my fault, its asphalt. Its called the concrete effect. The more an area is paved or covered in cement, it retains the dialy absorption of sunlight and it takes longer for this heat to dissapate. Buildings help in this as well. It retains the heat and takes longer to cool off after the daily sunlight.
