Salt Water, do to its small salt particles which not only the water holds the heat ,but the salt particles TOO!!!

Most brines for heat transfer systems are very heavily salted solutions to the point where there is more salt than water [by weight] in them.

Why does salt water holds heat longer?

It doesn't make the solution hold heat longer but it increases the boiling point of the solution by decreasing the vapor pressure.

Does fresh water hold heat longer than saltwater?

Salt water has a higher boiling temperature than fresh water so it would take longer than fresh water to heat up. this is because of the tendancy for H2O to 'cluster' around and cling to the salt molecules. This means that fresh water will evaporate faster than salt water (depending on the concentration).


Since salt water is denser than fresh water does swimming in fresh water sap body heat faster?

No.


How does the absorption of energy from the sun differ from land and water?

Land absorbs heat energy from the sun quickly, but it also releases the heat (cools down) more quickly than water. Water reflects more of the energy than land does, so it takes longer to warm. Water also holds the heat longer than land. This is why the sea is warmer for swimming at the very end of summer, even when the land is cooling.
