What characteristics can matter have that make it a good absorbant of heat?

Question

basic tho nothing advanced

Answer 1

Density is also a factor. A Cast Iron skillet, and a Aluminum skillet will both absorb heat. But the Cast Iron skillet, will hold the heat longer, and distribute it more evenly.

Answer 2

Dull, rough surfaces aborb heat well. Shiny/polished surfaces (like foil) that reflect heat well, don't absorb heat - because - it's reflected!

Dark material aborbs more then light material.

Answer 3

I'm not sure if I understand your question, however....... Aluminum will absorb heat quite nicely. Also... Any hard surface with a dark color aborbs heat very well.

I hope this helps.
