why does stone lying in the sun gets heated up more than water lying for the same duration of time?
Answers
The land cools faster than water for a few primary reasons. Firstly, the heat capacity of water is significantly greater than the soil or rock of land areas. Secondly, the land is a natural insulator and only the top layer absorbs most of the heat. And, in the case of water, it is fluid and mixes (convection) allowing the heat to penetrate to lower layers. Since the water is also transparent, radiant heat penetrates more easily and deeper.
Explanation:
Since stone has its molecules extremely close so when energy is given they start vibrating at a higher rate and because they are very close to each other the collision is increased at a considerable rate. Whereas in water the molecules are not so close so when energy is given although they vibrate at an increased rate still the molecules are not very close to each other so it takes some time to transfer energy from surface of water to other parts.
