물질 1 kg의 온도를 1°C(또는 1 K) 올리는 데 필요한 에너지의 양.

설명

Water has an exceptionally high specific heat capacity of 4,186 J/(kg·K), which is why oceans moderate coastal climates and why water is used in radiators. By contrast, copper is only 385 J/(kg·K), meaning it heats and cools far more rapidly. This property governs everything from cooking times to engine cooling system design.
