    Surface heating

    I have a few questions related to the same topic. Why do surfaces, such as concrete and stucco, heat-up to temperatures greater than the ambient temperature when the sun shines on them? Also, why does stucco heat-up more than concrete? What role does density have in terms of heat gain and...
