What absorbs more energy from the sun water or land?
Land generally absorbs more energy from the sun compared to water. This is due to land having a lower specific heat capacity than water, meaning it heats up faster and to higher temperatures when exposed to sunlight. Water's higher specific heat capacity allows it to absorb heat more effectively and moderates its temperature changes.
If thermometer is placed in sun light then which thing it will read the temperature of air or of sun or surrounding?
A thermometer placed in sunlight will measure the temperature of the air surrounding it, not the temperature of the sun itself. The sun's rays can heat up the air, which in turn affects the temperature measured by the thermometer.
How does the absorption of energy from the sun differ from land and water?
Land absorbs heat energy from the sun quickly, but it also releases the heat (cools down) more quickly than water. Water reflects more of the energy than land does, so it takes longer to warm. Water also holds the heat longer than land. This is why the sea is warmer for swimming at the very end of summer, even when the land is cooling.
Is the sun a good heat insulator?
No, the sun is not a heat insulator. In fact, the sun is a major source of heat and radiation for the Earth. It emits heat and light energy that warms our planet.
What kind of heat is the sun?
Radiant heat I assume you mean the heat emitted by the Sun rather than the heat of the Sun itself.
How does the land heat?
the sun
How does land heat up?
Land heats up when waves of energy from the sun produce heat upon contact with the land's surface.
Are land and water heated by sun heat?
yes
What is the Difference between oceans and land absorb the Sun's energy?
Oceans absorb and store more heat from the Sun due to their higher heat capacity and depth, resulting in slower temperature changes compared to land. Land absorbs solar energy more quickly, leading to faster heating and cooling cycles. Additionally, oceans have a higher albedo (reflectivity) compared to land, which affects the amount of solar energy absorbed.
What might both a chemist and a physicist do?
Study how the sun's heat affects pollution.-apex
What are four ways the sun affects the earth?
The sun affects Earth by providing heat and light for life to exist, driving weather patterns through its energy input, influencing climate dynamics, and creating day and night cycles through its rotation.
Why does the sun heat the land up the most?
The sun heats the land up the most because land absorbs sunlight more efficiently than water due to its lower albedo (reflectivity). This means that land retains more of the sun's energy compared to water, which reflects more sunlight back into the atmosphere.
Does the sun heat the land or the air more?
The sun primarily heats the land, which in turn heats the air above it. This process, called conduction, transfers heat from the ground to the air. The land generally warms up more quickly than the air because of its lower specific heat capacity.
How does the sun affect the weather on earth?
The sun affects the weather on earth because the suns heat makes water evaporate from earths surface.
What is the primary source of heat for land and water?
The Sun.
Why is the land hotter than water when exposed under the sun?
Land is hotter than water when exposed to direct heat under the sun because of its density. It holds in heat and cannot refract it the way that water can.
What are the affects on the environment of an 'A bomb' going off?
The power of the sun landing in someone's neighborhood. Blast, Heat, Radiation.
