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.

How do water and land surfaces differ in their abilities to absorb and radiated heat energy?
Land absorbs more heat energy than water does.
Does water or land hold heat longer?
Land holds more heat than water because the earth has magma and lava but water doesn't
Does muddy water absorb more heat than normal water?
A muddy water heat up faster than a clear water because of the presences of impurities in the muddy water and their specific heat capacity differences.
Does soil absorb radiation better than water?
Water absorbs and conducts radiation better. ex. electricity is a form of radiation this is false because water will take longer to absorb heat than soil but when the source of heat is gone the water will insulate more heat than the soil, therefore the water will keep heat longer than soil but the soil will heat up faster.
Which get heated faster land or air?
Yes, water has a higher specific heat capacity, meaning that it requires more energy to heat water to the same temperature as a piece of land. Water also reflects more incoming radiation. Land is dark, rough, and solid, which all contribute to the absorption of the radiation. Unlike water, land is unable to retain heat for as long as water. This is one reason why people who live near bodies of water experience less temperature extremes than those who don't live near water. The water retains heat gathered in the summer during the winter (keeping the area warmer), and keeps an area cooler in the summer while it collects heat.
How do water and land surfaces differ in their abilities to absorb and radiated heat energy?
Land absorbs more heat energy than water does.
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.
Does sand or water absorb more heat?
water
Why is ocean water cold at day?
Water changes temperature much more slowly than air does. The land gets warmer as it absorbs heat from the sun, but the water is slower to absorb the heat, so it stays cooler than the land. However at night, the water retains more heat than the land, so that it will often be warmer than the surrounding air, at least for a while.
Why does water not heat up or cool off as air?
because the specific heat of water is very high
Which dissipates heat more quickly land or water?
Land heats and cools faster than water.
Will solid aluminium absorb more heat than water?
With water been about to absorb heat water is a major plus for industries. It can go in your cars radiator for cooling the heat of the water also helps regulate the air changing temperature.
Why does soil absorb more sunlight heat than and water?
it absorbs more heat from sunlight than water because soil is looser which lets more sunlight in
Why does land heat up and cool down more rapidly than the sea?
Becaus the land can absorb and reflect more sunlight than the ocean can.
Would material absorb more heat?
If there was more heat to absorb than was already in the material.
Does water or land hold heat longer?
Land holds more heat than water because the earth has magma and lava but water doesn't
Will water heat more in a black cup or a white cup when sitting in the sun?
Dark objects will absorb more sunlight, converting it into heat energy, which is then passed on to the water - thus making it heat faster.
