Land surfaces of earth heat more rapidly than water surfaces because the land has a smaller “heat capacity” than water, which means it needs less heat to raise its temperature.
Why does water heat up and cool down slower than land?
Water reflects most solar radiation that reaches its surface again to the environment. Considering that land absorbs greater sun radiation the land surface retains greater warmness as do the flowers for energy. hence, land surfaces heat more quickly than water.
The specific warmness of water is more than that of dry soil, therefore water both absorbs and releases heat more slowly than land. Water is also fluid, allowing the heat to be combined to more intensity than on land.
