Your car has been setting out in the hot summer sun all day. The metal hood, the glass windshield, and the fabric upholstry are all at 180 degrees farenheit. If you touch the hood with your hand it could be burned, if you touch the windshield it will be very hot, if you touch the seat it will be very warm. Why is there a difference in how the different objects feel if they are all the same temperature?
