There is a material property known as heat capacity.This changes from material to material.Higher the capacity,better the heat absorbed.Since the heat capacity of sand is high,it absorbs heat so well.But for this it takes a considerable amountb of time.best heat capacity is of water.
sand heats up faster than water because sand absorbs the suns radiation more than water does
Because it is easier to absorb the heat and/or cold then it is with water. Especially since water is made up of more molecules then sand.
Because the water is see-through, so the light shines right through it, and at the same time, the sand absorbs the heat as it is not see-through.
sand heats faster because it absorbs heat faster than water!!!!!!
Water has the highest specific heat, sand and granite could be very similar but there are very many types of sand so no definite relationship can be given without more information.
water has a greater specific heat than sand becasue it takes longer to heat up than sand does
because water has a higher heat capacity than sand
no
No. Sand sinks in water because sand is more dense than water, not the other way around.
Than water? Yes
Sand does not retain heat as easily as water. Therefore, sand cools down faster than the ocean water.
The specific heat capacity of sand is much less than that of water. Hence sand cools earlier.
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.
Because the sand outside is in cold wind but the ocean sand observes the heat from the noon and at night it keeps the sand under ocean warm not extremely hot. I hope this helps :)
Wood absorbs more heat then sand. This is why at night in deserts it becomes so cold you can die.
