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


Why does the land lose heat more quickly at night than a body of water does?

bodies of water tend to have more object in and animals that produce their own heat. it also absorbs heat faster than land. water actually would lose heat faster if it didn't gain it faster. It's a more precarious kind of substance than earth is. but heat from the light reflecting off the moon and the fish in the water slow the temperature drop.


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

Does water or soil lose heat faster?

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.
