Why does soil absorb more solar radiation than grass?
Darker surfaces like soil absorb more than lighter ones like grass do.
Why does concrete that has been lying in the sun feel hotter than grass which has been in the same amount of sun?
The water in grass can evaporate in heat, reducing surface temperature. In addition, concrete is denser and retains heat better.
What rhymes with grass that has to do with the earth?
the earth has lots of mass
Is concrete good for the environment?
It contributes to society and modernisation but it has its drawbacks. AT least it is not more harmfull than other things such as pollution. Concrete is manmade stone, and in itself it does not harm the environment, but when grass and trees are eliminated to pour concrete, the process is never reversed. Once land is "developed," in this way, no one ever breaks up the concrete to let the grass and trees grow again. So the fault is not with the concrete, but with its overuse.
Is grass a cause of global warming?
Grass has very little to do with global warming, unless you mean the grass grown for cattle pasture after the rainforests were cut down. Rainforests absorb tonnes of carbon dioxide from the air; grass not so much.
Would you expect more runoff from a parking lot or a grassy field with the same slope?
A parking lot, generally made of blacktop or concrete, would have more runoff. Grass, with earth below it, would absorb more water. Blacktop cannot be penetrated by water. Concrete can absorb water, but only a very little, especially as compared to a grassy field.
Does a ball roll farther on grass concrete or sand?
Probably concrete, but hard packed sand would do pretty well.
How high will a basketball bounce on concrete grass and carpet?

Would the earth look nice if there no elephants?
no the earth would not look nice because the elephants eat the grass and the grass will grow back.
Will a soccerball go farther in concrete or grass?
Concrete. Grass will have more friction, and will slow down the ball.
What creates more friction, concrete or grass?
Grass. This is because carpet (grass or soil) has more friction than a smooth surface like tile (concrete).
Does grass absorb energy sun?
yes it does!! :)
How much does grass absorb from the sun?
279.346%
Why don't you go as fast on the grass as you do on concrete on a scooter?
The grass has more friction than the concrete, so the scooter doesn't go as fast
Do earthworms go faster on concrete or grass?
That realy depends no some things. If a perfect earth worm,as in no injuries, and approximately adult size, it moves faster on concrete. The reason is because they don't take any breaks as in bumping into ground. On concrete, they can build up more friction and reach higher speeds of about .119 mph than on grass.
Why does soil absorb more solar radiation than grass?
Darker surfaces like soil absorb more than lighter ones like grass do.
Does a basketball bounce higher on carpet concrete or wooden?
carpets store more energy to the ball because it is under a hard floor. The floor is still their. on grass even thought is in the ground their is another layer which is the dirt. n the grass stores less energy.
