Marin Travis · Answer 1

heat travels easier through plants so plants dont heat up as much

thus is because metal is much more dense than the grass

Trevon · Answer 2

Number 1 Is the right answer ... Plants are made to live from the sun so the heat travels easily, But for the metal the sun hits directly at it and starts to heat it up.
