Sand gets hot primarily due to direct sunlight and absorption of solar radiation. The particles in the sand absorb the sun's energy, which causes them to vibrate and generate heat. Additionally, sand can retain and release heat well due to its thermal properties.
The heat transfer is primarily through conduction, as the hot sand comes in direct contact with your bare feet and transfers heat energy to them. Additionally, there may also be some heat transfer through radiation from the sand to your feet.
I think you mean why does hot sand heat the air by convection... The sand is heated by the sun, and the air is touching the sand, which is hot, so by convection, the sand is heating the air.
Walking barefoot on hot sand transfers heat to your feet through conduction, not radiation. Conduction is the direct transfer of heat from one object to another through physical contact. In this case, the heat from the hot sand is conducted through your feet when you walk on it.
Heat from hot sand is transferred to your feet through a process called conduction. The sand particles come into direct contact with your feet, and as they vibrate due to their increased temperature, they transfer their thermal energy to your feet, making them feel hot.
False. When you walk barefoot on hot sand, heat is transferred to your feet through conduction, not radiation. Conduction is the transfer of heat through direct contact between two materials at different temperatures.

Conduction
Endothermic. The sand is absorbing heat. If it was radiating heat, that would be exothermic.

Sand stays hot for the longest
Convection
Due to the properties of sand, when we heat it over Bunsen burner it can be used as heating buffer. The sand would absorb heat even after it is removed so we can use it similarly to a hot water bath but the sand will eventually cool down and need reheating. It is common to use this sand heat bed technique in organic laboratories or when gentle/slow heating is required.

Sand and water have different thermal properties. Sand retains heat longer than water, so on a hot day, the sand will feel hotter because it has absorbed more heat from the sun. The water, on the other hand, has a higher specific heat capacity, which means it takes longer to heat up and cools down faster than sand.
