∙ 14y agoA substance that has a low specific heat needs less heat to increase its temperature. In other words under a constant heat flux it will heat or cool more quickly than the higher specific heat substances.

∙ 14y agoSubstances that heat and cool quickly typically have a low specific heat. This means they require less energy to change their temperature compared to substances with a high specific heat, which require more energy to heat up or cool down. Examples of substances with low specific heat include metals like copper and aluminum.

Substances with low specific heat capacity include metals like aluminum and copper, as well as gases like helium and hydrogen. These substances heat up and cool down quickly compared to substances with higher specific heat capacities.
A substance with a very low specific heat will heat up and cool down quickly. Examples include metals like copper or aluminum, which have low specific heat capacities compared to water. This property allows these substances to quickly absorb and release heat energy.
The specific heat of a substance affects the amount of thermal energy required to cool it. Substances with higher specific heat values require more energy to cool down compared to substances with lower specific heat values. This means that substances with higher specific heat values will cool down more slowly than substances with lower specific heat values.
Substances with low specific heat have the ability to heat up or cool down quickly with a small amount of energy. Common examples include metals like copper and aluminum, which have low specific heat compared to substances like water.
Things that heat quickly typically have a low specific heat capacity, as they require less energy to raise their temperature compared to substances with a higher specific heat capacity.

An example of a substance with low specific heat is metal, such as iron or aluminum. These materials heat up quickly when exposed to heat and cool down quickly as well, due to their low specific heat capacity.
There are two issues: specific heat and thermal conductivity.Specific heat is a measure of how much heat it takes to make a temperature change in a substance. If liquid A has a smaller specific heat than liquid B, then A will experience a bigger temperature change on gaining or losing a given amount of heat energy. Water has a greater specific heat than most substances, so it takes a lot of heat to make a large temperature change (or, to think of it the other way, it has to lose a lot of heat to cool down). That would make it tend to cool more slowly than other substances (all other things being equal).Thermal conductivity is a measure of how fast heat is dispersed through a sample. If a substance has a high thermal conductivity, then heat moves quickly through the substance. Water also has a high thermal conductivity for a liquid, so as the edges of a sample of water (where it contacts the air or container) cool down, heat moves from the inside to the edges quickly. That would make it tend to cool more quickly than other substances (all other things being equal.)
A substance that heats up quickly has a low specific heat capacity, while a substance that heats up slowly has a high specific heat capacity. This is because substances with high specific heat capacities require more energy to change temperature compared to substances with low specific heat capacities.
A substance that cools off quickly has a low specific heat capacity. This means that it requires less energy to cool down compared to a substance with a high specific heat capacity, which takes longer to cool off as it can hold more heat energy.
No the atmosphere does not allow heat to escape quickly to cool the planet
A high specific heat allows water to heat slowly and cool slowly. This is because water requires a large amount of energy to change its temperature compared to other substances, which results in a slow rate of temperature change.
Sand has a relatively low specific heat capacity compared to other substances. This means that it heats up and cools down quickly when exposed to temperature changes.
