Absorption of heat by land(compared to water)
Specific heat of land is 0.84J/kg and that of water is 4.2J/Kg.So:-
4.2-0.84=3.6
Therefore, land gets heated up 3.6 times faster than water.

How fast or slow does water absorb and release heat?
there is no specific set time; it depends on how direct the heat source is and how much heat or light there is
Which colors absorb heat faster and which colors absorb heat slower?
Yes different colors do absorb heat differently. You can tell that darker colors absorb more heat than lighter colors because the light reflects off of the light colors.
What warms up quicker land or water?
The land because water takes time to heat and cool. Also if the piece of land is dark colored then it will absorb more solar radiation then the water.
