1st

On a summer morning on Earth, Mark walks barefoot across his paved driveway with no problem. (He left his space suit at NASA) However, later that afternoon he steps barefoot onto the same driveway and must quickly run off because the bottoms of his feet feel like they are burning.

As the temperature increased during the day, the particles in the pavement moved faster and the thermal energy increased.
