A piece of metal gets hot outside primarily due to its ability to absorb and conduct heat from sunlight and the surrounding environment. Metals have low specific heat capacities, meaning they require less energy to increase in temperature. Additionally, their high thermal conductivity allows heat to spread quickly throughout the material, causing the entire piece to warm up rapidly when exposed to sunlight or warm air.
