Why do some liquids take longer to heat up than others?

Sorry the format sucks, I’m on mobile.

So, I have a 4 month old. On occasion I warm formula that has been in the fridge in the microwave. 20 seconds, All it needs. Yes, I shake it and test it on my arm everytime to make sure it is just right and i barely do this as i have a baby brezza. Don’t come at me. Lol.

Now today my 9 year old who is dealing with sensitive teeth asked me is I could warm her pear juice for her. Sure, no prob. The pear juice took 40 seconds just to reach room temperature. Why is this? Is it the sugars? I don’t know why this just occured to me and is bothering me but here we are.

Thank you everyone!! As I was reading this it became more clear, and I’m pretty sure I learned all of this at some point. But I have been very sleep deprived.
