A piece of charcoal and a piece of shining steel of the same surface area are kept for a long time in an open lawn in bright sun:
- The steel will absorb more heat than the charcoal.
- The temperature of the steel will be higher than that of the charcoal.
- If both are picked up by bare hands, the steel will be felt hotter than the charcoal.
- If the two are picked up from the lawn and kept in a cold chamber, the charcoal will lose heat at a faster rate than the steel.
