The question pretty much sums it up. How TF is the asphalt 20-40° hotter than the air when it’s super hot?

The energy the sun sends to the ground is more than the ground can reflect at the same time, so the ground get hotter and hotter over the day.

Air is transparent and did not absorb so much energy.
