A student conducts an investigation to study the impact of solar energy on land and water surfaces. He places a cup of soil and a beaker filled with water of the same mass on a plastic tray beside a window. After 10 minutes, he measures that the temperature of the water in the beaker is lower than the temperature of the soil. He places the plastic tray in the shade of a tree, and after another 10 minutes, he measures that the temperature of the water in the beaker is higher than the temperature of the soil. What can the student conclude from his investigation?
