Best Answer

The ocean.

yes

If we place both in the same location with the same weather conditions, the swimming pool will warm quicker as it is not as deep. Thus less volume to warm for the surface area exposed to the sun.

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.
