Does water or land hold heat longer?
Land holds more heat than water because the earth has magma and lava but water doesn't
What holds heat longer air or land?
the land
Does water hold heat longer than land?
Yes it does.
Why does land absorb more heat than water?
It doesn't. Water absorbs and holds more heat than land. That's why the coast always has more stable weather, with less temperature extremes, than inland.
If Specific heat of water is greater than that of land This means?
Water heats and cools slower than land. It is because the specific heat is the amount of heat that it takes to be raised to a certain temperature. If the heat is higher it would take longer to heat and cool. That is my interpretation anyways.

What holds heat longer air or land?
the land
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.
What does water take longer o do than land?
Water takes longer to heat up and to cool down then it does for land.
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.
Does water hold heat longer than land?
Yes it does.
Why is the land hotter than water when exposed under the sun?
Land is hotter than water when exposed to direct heat under the sun because of its density. It holds in heat and cannot refract it the way that water can.
Why does land absorb more heat than water?
It doesn't. Water absorbs and holds more heat than land. That's why the coast always has more stable weather, with less temperature extremes, than inland.
Is land warmer than the sea?
now i am no expert but i believe that because water is constantly moving and being effected by wind and the water cycle and land absorbs the heat and does not pass it on as easily then land holds more heat than water does

Why does water stay cooler than land?
The thermal capacity is higher for water than land, therefore the land is able to cool faster than the water. The water takes a longer time to heat up and cool off than the land.
Why does ice remain longer in Lake Erie than surrounding land areas?
Water has a higher specific heat than land.
