Thermal capacity (heat change per unit temperature change) of oil is a lot less than that of water, so a small amount of heat change (eg convection of air above it) is associated with larger temperature change in the case of oil.

Does water cool more quickly then land does?
water does cool more quickly than land cos water freezes sometimes and the land doesn't xxx
Why does sand on a beach cool down at night more quickly than the water?
I think what you are trying to say is the sand on a beach cools down easier at more quickly then the ocean water because of convection status, this makes the cool water much more cool then in the ocean water because of radiation.
Does milk cool faster than water?
No, compared to milk, water evaporates much more quickly.
Why does land warm and cool more quickly than water and how does it affect your air temperature?
Diffusion of heat from land is quicker than water. thus temperature of air on land flactutes faster than in the ocean.
Why does water not heat up or cool as quickly as air?
Because the specific heat of water is very high. In fact, water has about 1400 times more heat carrying capacity than air.
Which statement regarding air temperature is NOT trueCool air rises and warm air falls.Air heats up more quickly than land.Warm air is less dense than cool air.Air heats up more quickly than water?
"Cool air rises and warm air falls" is false. Cool air is denser than warm air, and therefore warm air will rise above cold air.
Does the atmosphere heat more quickly than the sea or the land?
Yes. The air will head up more quickly than water.
Does water cool more quickly than land?
Land cools faster because land is floating on the earths surface. Water gets deeper, so the suns heat cant heat the bottom of the ocean as well as the surface
Why does water evaporate quicker than water?
The warmer water is, the more quickly it evaporates.
Gains and loses heat much more quickly than?
Water gains and loses heat much more quickly than land.
Do cool stars evolve much more quickly than hot stars?
Hot stars are more massive than cooler stars and thus use up their available fuel much more quickly.
Can you cool a dry object by simply fanning it?
Yes, as long as the air is cooler than the object, fanning it will cause it to cool more quickly than it would otherwise.
