Different objects have different specific heats, which determine how much energy has to be absorbed or lost per amount of the substance in order to change the temperature of that substance by 1 degree Celsius.
According to thermodynamics, heat has a tendency to distribute itself evenly throughout the mass of a given substance. So that, if given enough time, the entire mass will be at the same temperature (there are no long-term higher concentrations of temperature vs. adjacent regions of lower temperature...temperature throughout the mass seeks equilibrium).
Thus, comparing two objects made of the same substance, the object with the greater mass will take longer to lose heat and drop to a lower temperature than one with a smaller mass.

What size are the crystals in an igneous rock that cools quickly?
Small
What is the size of a crystal if it cools slowly?
"Larger than if it cools quickly" is about all that's definitively possible to say.
How does the cooling rte of rocks affect the crystal size?
If rock cools quickly it does not have time to form large crystals and so it forms small ones. At slower cooling rates there is time to form larger crystals.
What factors affect the size of crystals as magma cools?
The lava does because it could be a good use.
Why doesn't changing an object's shape or size affect it's density?
No, size doesn't affect an object's shape because it's the same unit and material.
What factors affect the size of the crystals that form as magma cools?
it depends on how long is ban under the ground
Can the size of a container affect how fast boiled water cools?
Yes, assuming the amount of water stays the same.
What affects was the size of a shadow?
The size of a shadow depends on, the angle that the light source is hitting the object and the size of the object. In some cases, the amount of light can also affect the size of a shadow.
Does weight size or texture affect whether or not the object is attracted to a magnet?
NO!
What factor affects the size of the crystals in minerals that form from magma or lava?
If the lava cools quickly the crystals will be smaller than if it cooled slowly.
Can lava make glass?
Volcanic glass forms when molten material cools too quickly for crystals to form. The small size of volcanic ash particles ensures that the cool quickly.
Does the length of a vibrating object affect the sound?
yes. anything that has to do with size or density does.
