because they are all made of different materials therefore they will each retain heat more or less.
The nerves in our skin do not sense temperature, they sense heat flow. If heat flow is great, we sense it as hot. If heat flow is outward, we sense it as cold.
The seat has stored little heat, so touching it wont get much heat flow. The windshield actually has stored more heat than the hood, but because it is a very poorconductor not much heat will flow to the skin nerves. Now the hood, is a moderate store of heat, but a great conductor, so heat flows, skin says "very hot".
Hannah, please do not impersonate teachers. Thanks
