what is hotter wire or large area of sand like on a beach.  I said the sand because of the area, mass and air surrounding the wire vs the sandy ground or beach.  would like to see if i am correct I am far from intelligent scientist just would like to know the answer and what everyone has to say.  Please and Thank you

I don't really understand the question,  but if you want to compare heating in direct sunshine, the wire will be colder, because of moving air around it.

What do you need it for? And do you mean the whole beach combined, or the temperature in one spot
