why does land heat faster than water?

Answer 1

Excellent question. Actually, water has very high heat capacity. In fact, heat capacity is measured in most substances by comparing the substance to water. Water is the standard. Which is one of the reasons my web name is water since it is a such a unique substance and you can't live without me. (Joke intended! Yes, I know, boooo!) But, seriously, it takes more energy to raise the temperature of water one degree than nearly all other substances. So with equal heat from the sun on water, and soil...it takes less energy per unit area to warm soil than water. And as stated, by another answer, water also has the advantage of being a fluid and conducts the heat to a much greater depth more easily than in soil or rock. Thus, water will always warm much more slowly than soil. But, the opposite is also true. Due to the same property, soil will cool more rapidly than water at night.

Answer 2

(1)Water requires more heat for raising its temperature than land because the specific heat of water is more than that of the land.
(2)Land is a poor conductor of heat.Hence it does not allow the heat to penetrate inside the earth.In turn,only the land surface is getting heated more and the land reflects some of the sun's heat radiation back to the atmosphere (as long-wave radiation ).This, in turn heats the air which is near the surface making us feel more hotter.But water surface allowes the heat to penetrate to a considerable depth and so the sea surface does not get much opportunity to get heated by solar radiation.
(3)Over sea surface,the incident solar radiation is sometimes used only for evaporating the water from the surface and not for appreciably raising the temperature.
These are the main reasons for land getting heated faster than sea.

Answer 3

Water Absorb Most Of The Heat Because Of the sunsrays goes to the water then land the sunsrays is smaller amount of consume

Answer 4

Water desperses heat more readily than the land, the land absorbs it to a very shallow depth, while the water tends to spread it out more.
