Sand is not as good a conductor as something more solid like glass because it is composed of tiny granules that are separated by air. If you were to sit a hot pot in a hole made into some sand, the sand would help the pot to maintain its heat for longer than if the pot were sitting on top of the ground.
Yes. Everything conducts heat. Sand, however, does not conduct heat very well.
water is good than sand because of molecular structure.
sand does hold heat
As with just about everything, the sun will heat dark-coloured sand faster than light coloured sand. Dark colours absorb heat better than light colours.
conduction of heat
sand heats faster because it absorbs heat faster than water!!!!!!
When you heat sand, you get glass, and when you heat potting soil, you get warm dirt. -- And, a larger amount plants can survive in potting soil.
Heat is transferred by thermal conduction.
sand
no
Beach sand can be in hottest condition but cannot hold it for long period. Dark soils such as potting soils can hold it for long time.
Though sand and soil have the same specific heat, sand absorbs more heat.
It is the same with every other sand littered region. Sand doesn't hold heat, so the nghts are frightfully cold and the days are blisteringly hot.
sand can hold little water true or false?
water has a greater specific heat than sand becasue it takes longer to heat up than sand does
sand have low specific heat capacity.
As with just about everything, the sun will heat dark-coloured sand faster than light coloured sand. Dark colours absorb heat better than light colours.
sand is a free draining material so it doesnot hold water. that is the reason why sand is used as a filter material on water treatment plants. NB:. immediately the sand is wet it drains off.
Sand
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.
