which stays cooler in sunlight soil or water?explain?

water.  soil is dark which means it absorbs heat.?

very simple, land had widely different albedo's.\nthis is the amount of energy which is absorbed and re-emitted as heat. The ocean has a fairly constant albedo, where as on land you have different coloured rocks, which have different albedo's.\nTrees, grass, black soil, all have different albedo's. This varying amount of energy gives rise to different amounts of convective heating of the air above it.\n\nEvery try walking from grass onto a sandy beach on a sunny day? well then you have first hand experience of the difference in absorbed energy and albedo.\n\ndo a web search for albedo, here is the wiki entry for it\nhttp://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Albedo

the water, earth and moon are always moving......why is some water clear and some murky?  there are so many factors, bacteria in water don't live in warm water, so in tropical places the water is clear, on the other hand, places like east or west coast usa are colder so the water has a higher degree of pollution or looks more "murky"

there is a whole science that adresses exactly what you mention\nWATER HARVESTING\n,dig small dams every where to cath the rain water, and you can archieve that all of the rain water is absorbed by the land ,it will seep slowly into the ground to add to subteranean water suplies ,make sure that all the dams are interconnected by slow gradient ditches .just because you dont see water ,does not mean that it is not there .\nNormally a land repels water and with the rains it runs over ground into the rivers and awy.\nthink now that you want to make the land receptive or absorbent of all the water that falls on it.\n\nMULCH\ncut down the weeds before they produce seeds and leave them where they fall,they will cover the ground and put even more organic matter on top,you can use saw dust,leaves green or dry,and when you plant make a little space and plant in the mulch.this is the easiest quickest and by far most benificial way(for the quality of you soul)to prepare the land for planting\n\nto prevent weeds from coming all you have to do it turn out the lights,you can even use cardboard or black plastic(this is good for strawberries because they will rot if they touch humid ground,and the bugs can get to them).\n\nwhat you do is to cover the ground with mulch which is the same principal as compost but it includes the whole garden surface\nthe top part of the soil where the topsoil is being produced houses a world or microbiotic life.\n\nMulch is organic material green or dry that covers the ground,the thicker the better the composting process will turn it in to black topsoil\n\nthe humidity is preserved underneath and promotes the devellopment of worms(their exists no better compost than their excrements)and a variety of micro biotic life which together with the mulch produce more topsoil.\n\nthe mulch also keeps the ground temperature even and guards against the impact of the rain ,which would other wise brings salt to the surfave if on unprotected land\n\nMulch also prevents the soil from drying out because of the sun and, lay it open to wind erosian.\n\nand it turn out the lights for any weeds that want to come up\ndo not use chemicals because the water will wash them into the ground and if enough people did that, you would be guilty of helping to contaminate subteranean water suplies that other people could be pumping up to drink \n\nSUSTAINABLE FARMING\nthe best examples on this Earth of sustainable agriculture,\nare the chinampas of central Mexico ,the surviving ones(that have not been consumed by urban devellopment)have been going for more than 800 years ,that is sustainability.\nthe are built from the mud of the lakes and enriched with compost ,in the old days with the toilet contents of the outhouses that were on the bridges going into town,which the indians collected with a canoo.\n\nAnother example are the traced gardens of the Inca which have been going for more than a thousand years,there success is also because of the principle of using compost and their form which id a receptive concave absorb the rain waters and collect the dust from the wind (for hundreds of years and so increase in quality instead of the oposite.\nin the Ukraine are also examples of ancient agriculture due to no till farming and mulching(green organic matter that is added)\n\nin Mexico today are still examples from old Indian agricultural practises of diversity or companion planting.\nwhere by a series of 7 or 8 species of plants are put together or one folows the other.to create biodiversity ,and utilisation of space.\nCorn is planted for example ,wich is followed 4 weeks later by a bean that climbs it.\nand agavi and edible cactus is on the sides to protect these plants from foraging animals and add chemicals to the soil by their secretions.and others are in between to provide groundcover\n\nthere are many forms of sustainable farming in the past,and today those who follow the principles of permaculture,no till farming,organic or sustainable farmin

The depth of water also has effect. The shallower the water the warmer. The deeper the colder. So water in the tropics, near the equator and shallow should be warmest.\nSee the link below.

During winter the water at the surface of lake or pond gets cooled.\n\nDue to cooling density of water increases; denser water\ngoes down, while the relatively hot water comes up. This is convection.\n\nBut water has a peculiar property that below 4 degree C it becomes less dense.\n\nTherefore when the surface temperature is 4degree and below, the water at the surface cannot go down. Hence convection of water is stopped. \n\nThe temperature increases relative to water surface.  If the temperature of the water surface reaches freezing temperature, ice is formed on the surface and the freezing takes place from top to bottom.\n\nThus lives of water living creatures are saved from freezing.

Sand in the desert cannot absorbe heat. It just reflects what is there in the environment. this is why it is very hot during he day when the sun is out as it reflects all the heat that is getting focussed on it. And when the dusk falls, since sand has not been absorbing the heat during the day it becomes cold as soon as the environment around loses on temprature. This is majorly due to the no absorbing property of Sand and scarcity of water. \nTry this, You you can keep a part of the sand in the desert wet for the day that part will be much less colder at night and much less hot during the day becasue water will absorb heat during the day and make it feel cool as it is not getting reflected immediately and reflect heat in the night making it a little warm.

High humidity makes the temperature seem warmer.\n\nAlso, when something condenses, as in the water in the clouds, it gives off energy often in the form of heat.

1. Ice is one of the only known liquids that actually expands as it freezes. This is due to hydrogen bonds forming between the water molecules, which line up molecules less efficiently (in terms of volume) when water is frozen.\n\n2. Tea in a saucer has much more surface area than tea in a cup, therefore it cools much faster.\n\n3. These pots are made of a material with the property of insulating and protecting the water from infrared light. With less infrared light, the water is cooler.\n\n4. Water is a green house gas, which means the more water there is in the air; the more infrared light reflecting off the ground (which initially comes from sunlight of the visible spectrum) will be reflected back to earth. On a dry day, with less clouds and moisture, infrared light is better able to escape into the atmosphere. Sand is no conductor, so it is constantly emitting infrared rays to cool down. The more heat, the more it cools.\n\n5. Homogenous literally means "same throughout". It is a mixture that appears to be of a constant chemical makeup, such as salt dissolved in water. Heterogeneous means "made of different materials". An example of a heterogeneous mixture could be oil in water (the water is more dense, the oil floats on top).

Every one is right above in a way, basically the plant requires sunlight to convert the water and minerals it gets from the soil to food which then will create more cells for it to grow.\n\nWithout sunlight the growth is slower as the food is not created to be sufficient for growth..........\n\nSo plants grow faster in sunlight......

compared to what?\nIt would be buoyant compared to sea water, which is heavier due to the high number of minerals dissolved in the water.\nIt would not be buoyant compared to distilled water, which would be lighter because it has no minerals dissolved in it.

Evaporation. The sun's heat turns water into vapour.
