Yes oceans and to a lesser extent lakes have much more stable temperatures than the air. This is due to the high specific heat capacity of water.

Why does the water temperature change less than the land temperature?
Water is able to move (unlike the land's surface), and it can be mixed when it is heated. This mixing can cause the heat that's transferred to the water to be averaged with the rest of the water, which isn't being heated. If you were to dig deep enough into the land's surface, you would find that the temperature of the land changes very little far below the surface.
How does land temperature effect water temperature?
Air temperature greatly affects water temperature. When the sun is strong, it increases the temperature of the air and water. On the other hand, when the sun is less intense, the temperature of the air and water decreases.
Why does land near an ocean have less temperature variation from day to night than places inland?
temperatures near water change during the seasons
Which holds heat longer land or water?
land
Do land surfaces heat more rapidly than water surfaces?
Water circulates so more of it must be heated (or cooled) to change temperature. With the land, only the top few inches change temperature at first--it takes awhile for the warmth to penetrate. So terrestrial surface measurements rise much faster in the morning and cool down faster in the evenings--the water tends to remain closer to the same temperature day and night.
Which changes temperature more rapidly land or water?
Land tends to change temperature more rapidly than water. This is because land has a lower specific heat capacity compared to water, meaning it requires less energy to change its temperature. As a result, land can heat up and cool down more quickly than water.
Does the temperature of water change more slowly than the temperature of land?
Yes, water has a higher thermal capacity.
Which warms up slower and holds it heat longer water or land?
Given equal volumes and equal temperature changes without any change of state, no substance requires as much heat for a given temperature increase or expels as much heat during the equivalent temperature decrease than water.
What does water and land have to do with air temperature?
Water and land can affect the temperature
How do hurricanes change when they encounter land?
hurricanes change when they encounter land because the no longer have warm water to generate enough power. they require warm water moist air, and light easterly winds. water is the main source so when they no longer have it they no longer have the power it had before while it was on a ocean. i hope that this helps you in any way possible!

What does water take longer o do than land?
Water takes longer to heat up and to cool down then it does for land.
What is the temperature difference in land and water breezes?
the temperature of breezes over water is much cooler than over land because the sunlight is reflected of the water instead of absorbed by the land
Why does large bodies of water tend to moderate the climate of nearby land make it warmer in cold weather and cooler in hot weather?
water temperatures change more slowly than land temperatures.
