Land and Water

The video explores how the sun provides energy to Earth, focusing on how land and water absorb this energy differently. It explains that while the sun's energy is distributed across the Earth's atmosphere, land, and water, land absorbs more energy due to its darker color, which retains heat better than water. The video uses a beach setting to illustrate these concepts, highlighting that water reflects more sunlight, making it cooler than sand. The conclusion emphasizes that land absorbs more energy, explaining the importance of color in heat absorption.

Which absorbs more of the sun's energy, land or water?

• Both equally

• Land

• Water

• Neither

Why does land absorb more heat than water?

• Water is more reflective

• Water is denser

• Land is darker in color

• Land is closer to the sun

What happens to the sun's energy when it hits water?

• It is completely absorbed

• It is stored as potential energy

• It is converted to sound

• It is mostly reflected
