sand will because the molecules of sand are closer together, which makes heat get to the whole object faster, unlike water in which the molecules are spread apart, so it will take longer for all of the heat to get the whole liquid. (i did an experemint in my class, which proves my answer.)

Why the sand warms up quicker than the water?
Water is a good convector of heat so as the surface warms, the heat is passes to the lower portions of water. Sand does not convect or conduct heat well so the surface gets hot fast as the sun shines on it
Why does water have a greater specific heat over then sand?
water has a greater specific heat than sand becasue it takes longer to heat up than sand does
What hold heat longer the sand or water?
sand
What has the greatest specific heat - granite rock - sand or water?

What absorbs heat most effectively sand soil or water?
Sand
Why does oil heat faster than water?
because oil has fat in it so its heat quicker and water has no fat i do catering
Why would water evaporate quicker if it was darker?
The absorption of heat is higher.
Why does sand heat up more than water?
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.
Is salt water heated quickly than fresh water?
