Yes, concrete absorbs and holds heat more than earth and grass because it has a higher thermal mass, which allows it to store more heat energy. This can contribute to the urban heat island effect in cities where there are large expanses of concrete surfaces. In contrast, earth and grass have lower thermal mass and can help to reduce heat through evapotranspiration and shading.
What else can I help you with?
Why does concrete that has been lying in the sun feel hotter than grass which has been in the same amount of sun?
Concrete has a higher heat capacity and thermal conductivity compared to grass, which means it can absorb and retain more heat. Grass can also release moisture through evaporation, which helps to cool it down. This combination of factors makes concrete feel hotter to the touch compared to grass.
Why are not weather instrument shelter on concrete?
Weather instrument shelters are not placed on concrete because concrete can absorb and retain heat, which could influence the temperature readings taken by the instruments inside the shelter. Placing the shelter on grass or soil helps provide a more accurate representation of the surrounding air temperature.
What rhymes with grass that has to do with the earth?
"Mass" rhymes with grass and is related to the Earth as it represents the amount of matter in an object.
Is there more runoff on pavement than on grass?
Yes there is. Because if it is in the grass it will soak into the soil. :)
How many piece's of grass are there on earth?
It is estimated that there are over 1 trillion blades of grass on Earth.
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.

What is the Opposite of grass?
The opposite of grass would typically be considered as something like pavement or concrete.
Can grass grow on concrete surfaces?
Grass typically cannot grow on concrete surfaces because concrete is not a suitable environment for grass to take root and grow.
How high will a basketball bounce on concrete grass and carpet?
A basketball will bounce more on concrete because it is a flatter surface then carpet and grass
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.
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).
How can I locate reputable concrete contractors?
I don't have a green thumb and would love to get rid of all of the grass in my backyard. Where can I find professional concrete contractors?
Can you put grass over concrete to create a green space in a paved area?
Yes, you can put grass over concrete to create a green space in a paved area by using artificial turf or installing a grass grid system that allows grass to grow through the concrete.
Will a soccerball go farther in concrete or grass?
A soccer ball will typically travel farther on grass than on concrete. Grass provides a softer and more cushioned surface, allowing the ball to bounce and roll more easily compared to the harder and less forgiving surface of concrete.
How can I lay artificial grass on concrete?
To lay artificial grass on concrete, you will need to clean the concrete surface thoroughly, apply a layer of adhesive or turf tape, and then roll out the artificial grass on top. Secure the edges with nails or adhesive, and brush the grass fibers to make it look natural.
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
