Does land surface cools off more rapidly at night than water does?

Yes. Water is largely opaque to infrared, and so is water vapor. A body of water covers itself with an insulating blanket of water vapor. Land cannot.

What happen to the water vapor when it cools?
when water vapor cools a process called condensation occurs. It happens on a cold surface where the water vapor cools and condenses to form water on the cold surface. A common example of this is breathing onto a window and it fogs up.
What happens to the temperature of equal volumes of soil and water when they are placed in the sunshine for 30 minutes?
both the water and soil heats up but the soil heats up rapidly and the water heats up slowly. If it cools down the soil cools down faster and the water cools down slower.
What keeps the temperature of the surface of the Earth from changing rapidly?
water in oceans, lakes, rivers and streams
What happens when a warm air mass rises quickly and cools rapidly?
The water vapor will condense and with sufficient particle matter it will form clouds and possibly precipitation.
What is it called When water cools into a cloud?
when water cools in a cloud? Condensation! :]
Does water cool rapidly or slowly?
The rate at which water cools depends on its environment.
How do the heating of land water differ?
Land heats more rapidly and to higher temperatures than water. Land also cools more rapidly and to lower temperatures than water
How do the heating of land and water different?
Land heats more rapidly and to higher temperatures than water. Land also cools more rapidly and to lower temperatures than water
How does the atmosphere influenced by the surface temperature of the ocean?
in the day, the ocean cools the atmosphere, and at night, the water is cooled by the air. this is all because of the property of water that it has a tendency to not gain/lose heat easily.

How does the rate at which a container of water cools depends upon the surface area of the water exposed to the open air?
The rate at which a container of water cools depends on the surface area of the water exposed to the open air because the more water is exposed, the faster its molecules will cool.
Does water cool more quickly than land?
Land cools faster because land is floating on the earths surface. Water gets deeper, so the suns heat cant heat the bottom of the ocean as well as the surface
What happens to the temperature of equal volumes of soil and water when they are placed in the sunshine for 30 minutes minutes?
both the water and soil heats up but the soil heats up rapidly and the water heats up slowly. If it cools down the soil cools down faster and the water cools down slower.
Where does the water move rapidly in the straight length of a stream?
Near the surface
What are formed when water vapor cools and condenses high above the earth's surface?
clouds
When arc welding in the overhead position helps keep the molten metal from dropping out of the puddle?
If you throw some water up on the ceiling, surprisingly, a lot of it stays there. This is called surface tension. If you splash water in a pond small drops of water float on the surface. same thing. Plus, the molten puddle cools quite rapidly. Freezing the metal in place.
Which forms during the night because water cools slower than land?
fog
