Because it expands when it freezes.
water has this unusual heat because the sun heats it up and yea it heats it up

Water has a high specific heat index, meaning that it can absorb a lot of energy before its temperature increases. Think about the temperature of sea water compared to the hood of your car on a sunny day. If you put your hand on the metal, you'll find that it's very hot! On the contrary, the ocean will feel warm rather than burning hot. This is because it takes a lot more solar radiation (light and heat) to raise the temperature of water than steel.
Water has much higher specific heat than lead. All metals have fairly low specific heat values.
That is how specific heat is defined. When you measure something you have to measure it relative to some point of reference. In specific heat it was agreed upon that water was to be the standard and its specific heat would be one. Therefore everything else is measured relative to water.
Examples of specific heat1.people eat their hobos at a specific heat at 901 degree
no, specific heat will always be 4.16
The specific heat capacity of water does not change much within-phase (ie, as a solid it has one specific heat capacity, as a liquid/gas it has another)
Water has much higher specific heat than lead. All metals have fairly low specific heat values.
The specific heat value for water is 4.18 J/goC.
The specific heat of water is high. An example of an object with low specific heat would be a metal pan. Since specific heat is the energy needed to raise 1g of something 1 degree Celsius, water would have a high specific heat.
Specific heat of water is 1 calory per gram .
Water has a greater specific heat.
Water has a MUCH higher specific heat than hydrogen.
That is how specific heat is defined. When you measure something you have to measure it relative to some point of reference. In specific heat it was agreed upon that water was to be the standard and its specific heat would be one. Therefore everything else is measured relative to water.
The specific heat of water at 20 0C and 100 kPa is 4,1818 J/gK.

Water has.
rubbing alcohol has higher specific heat
the specific heat capacity of water is 4200 J / kg °C
