Water has a very high specific heat capacity, meaning it takes more energy to heat it up than most substances and it releases more energy than it heats down. Additionally, water can circulate, so that heat gets distributed to a greater depth than it can with solid earth. As a result, land heats up faster in the day and cools down more slowly at night than water does. For this reason, air over land tends to be warmer in the day an cooler at night than air over water.
Air on land is cooler than air on water because water is much warmer than land. This is because of the under water volcanoes and since water is deeper than land it is more closer to the core. Oceans are also known for storing heat. To sum up the air on land is cooler than air on water because water stores more heat than land does making air over land cool and nice.
Because, water has a higher specific heat. meaning, the water needs more energy, from the sun or elsewhere, to rise the same amount of degrees as land does.
land haets up faster then does the water because water will evaporate that causes the air above will become cooler
No, in the day the over land is warmer than the air over water
The reason air is colder than land is because, the order of things cooling goes,1.Air 2.Water 3.Land.

Why is the air over the land warmer than the air over the sea in summer?
yes
Because of the density of water, it does not heat up as quickly when exposed to light, and is, therefor, colder than the air around it. This means that the water is constantly pulling heat energy from the air around it, making the air directly above a body of water colder than that above land, and because colder, denser air conducts sound more readily than warmer air, sound travels more efficiently over a lake than over land.
When there is a land breeze, that means that the land is colder than the water. This occurs in the colder seasons, mainly winter. That is because water heats and cools slower than land. Therefore in the winter, the land cools faster than the water, and the water is warmer. So, the cold air from the land sinks and blows towards the sea.
Colder air blowing in from the sea to the land is called a "sea breeze".
Colder air sinks downwards, as it is denser than warm air. It is denser/heavier than warm air because the molecules are more crowded than warm air.
I am not to sure but I think that it sinks...

If air is holding as much moisture as it can, colder air holds less than warmer.

heat causes warm air to occupy more space than colder air.
A sweating cup is colder than the air which surrounds it.
wind
that's a very vague question. I'll try my best to answer it. First it depends where at you're talking about. At the Equator Air on land is colder than at sea. But as you go to either poles the water tends to get colder than the air on land.
Moisture from the air that sticks to something colder than the air.
Colder air is denser than warmer air
