You and your friends are at the park on a sunny day, and you are playing on the slide. As you sold down, the hot slide burns your legs. Explian why this happened and why you didn't burn your hands when you climbed up the rope ladder

Metal is a great conductor of heat while rope does not collect heat from the radiation from the sun as much or contain it while if metal is out in the sun all day it just keeps getting hotter and hotter and when you touch the rope it does not have much heat to transfer but the metal slide is hot enough to irritate your skin
