Sand has a lower heat capacity hence it heats up easily and looses heat easily. On the other hand, water has a higher heat capacity and looses heat more slowly hence it remains warm at night.

<h3>What is heat transfer?</h3>

The transfer of heat refers to the movement of heat from one body to another. We should note that sand has a low specific heat capacity hence it is rapidly heated up in the day and looses heat quickly at night.

On the other hand, water has a high specific heat capacity hence it heat up slowly and also does not loose heat easily even when the surrounding temperature is much colder. As such, there is an extreme temperature difference between day and night in a desert during clear weather and the water in a swimming pool in the desert tends to remain warm even when the outside temperature drops greatly at night.

Imagine that you helped to discover a new element; A=302;Z=119. How many protons, electrons, and neutrons are in each atom it th
oee [108]

Explanation:

Given that,

Mass number, A = 302

Atomic number, Z = 119

We know that, atomic number = no of protons

Protons = 119

Mass no. = No. of neutrons + No. of protons

302 = No. of neutrons + 119

No. of neutrons = 302 - 119

= 183

No. of electrons = No. of protons

= 119
