Question

Imagine you are at a local water park on a hot summer day and your feet begin to get hot from the cement. Looking ahead, you notice that there are two paths you can take to your favorite waterslide. One path is comprised of sand while the other path consists of water. You opt for the water path because you know it will be cooler on your feet. Assuming that both paths were exposed to the same heat source (the sun) and that both paths have the same mass, explain why water does not get as hot as sand.
