Water has a very high specific heat capacity, meaning it takes more energy to heat it up than most substances and it releases more energy than it heats down. Additionally, water can circulate, so that heat gets distributed to a greater depth than it can with solid earth. As a result, land heats up faster in the day and cools down more slowly at night than water does. For this reason, air over land tends to be warmer in the day an cooler at night than air over water.

∙ 14y agoAir on land is cooler than air on water because water is much warmer than land. This is because of the under water volcanoes and since water is deeper than land it is more closer to the core. Oceans are also known for storing heat. To sum up the air on land is cooler than air on water because water stores more heat than land does making air over land cool and nice.

∙ 12y agoland haets up faster then does the water because water will evaporate that causes the air above will become cooler

∙ 12y agoNo, in the day the over land is warmer than the air over water
Wiki User
∙ 8y agoThe reason air is colder than land is because, the order of things cooling goes,1.Air 2.Water 3.Land.

Why does sound carry so well on a lake?
Because of the density of water, it does not heat up as quickly when exposed to light, and is, therefor, colder than the air around it. This means that the water is constantly pulling heat energy from the air around it, making the air directly above a body of water colder than that above land, and because colder, denser air conducts sound more readily than warmer air, sound travels more efficiently over a lake than over land.
What is always true when there is an ocean breeze?
When there is a land breeze, that means that the land is colder than the water. This occurs in the colder seasons, mainly winter. That is because water heats and cools slower than land. Therefore in the winter, the land cools faster than the water, and the water is warmer. So, the cold air from the land sinks and blows towards the sea.
What is the cold air blows from the sea to the land?
Colder air blowing in from the sea to the land is called a "sea breeze".
The bottom layer in a of air is colder than the air above it?
Colder air sinks downwards, as it is denser than warm air. It is denser/heavier than warm air because the molecules are more crowded than warm air.
What does the air at the poles do when it is colder and denser than the surrounding air?
I am not to sure but I think that it sinks...

Colder air holds less moisture than warmer air?
If air is holding as much moisture as it can, colder air holds less than warmer.

The molecular activity associated with heat causes warm air to blank than colder air?
heat causes warm air to occupy more space than colder air.
When a cup is sweating is the water colder or warmer than the outside?
A sweating cup is colder than the air which surrounds it.
When warm air from a body of water blows across the colder air above the surrounding land?
wind
What is colder air in land or air in sea?
that's a very vague question. I'll try my best to answer it. First it depends where at you're talking about. At the Equator Air on land is colder than at sea. But as you go to either poles the water tends to get colder than the air on land.
In a simple answer what is condensation?
Moisture from the air that sticks to something colder than the air.
Which is more dense – air that is 90 degrees or air that is 40 degrees?
Colder air is denser than warmer air
What does the air at the poles do when it is colder and denser than the surrounding air?
I am not to sure but I think that it sinks...
