In most cases, the water temperature only affects land temperatures when the land is in relatively close proximity to the water. The winds will flow accross the warmer water and carry the radiated heat over the land closest to the shoreline. As the wind blows further inland, the affects of the water are slowly dropped off. In contrast, the air temperatures can SLOWLY affect the water temperatures. Over time, cooler/warmer air temps will cool/warm the waters if the temps are fairily consistent for a period of time. The larger the body of water, the longer it takes for the air to affect it.

How is water vapour responsible for global warming?
Water in the air doesn't heat the air up. Water in the air moderates temperatures. It tends to make daytime temperatures cooler and nighttime temperatures warmer than they would be in drier air.
At higher temperatures air can hold water vapor as compared at a lower temperatures?
Plants take in sunlight and Carbon Dioxide, and as a by product, produce water and oxygen. when it is humid the air is wet and damp like bathing with hot water. so the plant takes in the water to make photosynthesis.
Is it true that water usually condenses when air temperatures falls below dew point?
Water can start to condense from the air when the temperatures drop below the dew point. It happens when the ground is cold or when the air above the sky is cold.
Does hydrogen pollute the air?
No, hydrogen is just water in extreme temperatures.
At higher temperatures does air hod more or less water?
Less.
What air holds more moisture?
Warmer temperatures hold more water.
Humidity is the amount of water vapor in the air at a given time At warm temperatures air can hold more moisture than it can at cold temperatures Relative humidity is the amount of vapor the air you?
specific humidity
How astronomers measure stellar temperatures?
Stellar temperature can be measured by analysing the spectrum of light that stars emit; shorter wavelengths correspond to higher temperatures.
How is relative humidity affected by temperatures?
Warmer air is able to hold more water vapour than cooler air. As warm humid air cools, the water vapour condenses out as water droplets.
What is the difference in ability of water and air to be compressed?
Air is easy compressed, water with many difficulties at very high pressures.
What air temperature do platypuses live in?
Platypuses prefer cooler temperatures, but are more affected by water temperature, as they spend so much time in the water, while their burrows protect them from extremes in air temperature. Ideally, air temperatures range from a high of around 28 degrees Celsius down to sub-zero night time temperatures in winter.
