It was a wonderful morning when I and my family decided to go to the beach. The weather is hot as it is mid summer.
My brother and I played on the sandy beaches, building sandcastles and playing beach volleyball. When it was nearly noon, the sand feels hot, and we started to feel really warm, we went into the water, which was cool, to our surprise. The water is still cool while the sand feels warm to touch.
After a while my brother and i went to a nearby chalet to take a rest out of fatigue. It was late in the evening, when we woke up from our 'nap'. Energized now, we went for swim, and now, the water is warm. The water is warm despite the fact that the sand on the beach is no longer warm to touch.
Being curious kids, I found out the explanation for the phenomenon. It is about the different bodies have different heat capacity and i also found out that the sea has larger mass, so it heat capacity is larger too when compared to land.
