heat capacity
Sign in to savethermal property describing the energy required to change a material's temperature
AI overview
Heat capacity is a measure of how much energy you need to add to something to make it hotter, or remove to make it colder. Materials with high heat capacity (like water) require a lot of energy to change temperature, while those with low heat capacity heat up or cool down more easily, which matters for everything from cooking to climate and engineering design.
