The experiment aimed to compare how land and water surfaces absorb and radiate heat.
How to do the experiment on Absorption and Radiation by Land and Water
By using temperature probes, the study observed temperature changes when both surfaces were exposed to uniform solar radiation. Results revealed that land absorbs and releases heat faster than water, indicating differing thermal properties.
Water demonstrated higher heat retention capabilities, leading to slower temperature changes. These findings highlight the distinct heat absorption and radiation characteristics between land and water, crucial factors influencing regional climates and ecosystems.
