Process by which the sun transfers heat to the Earth

• conduction

• convection

• radiation

• plasmation

The sand heats up of faster than water because it has

• higher specific heat

• lower specific heat

• no thermal energy

• thermal equilibrium

This is a class of material that conducts heat poorly.

• conductor

• thermal plasmator

• insulator

• thermal enginator
