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.

The sun warms up land more in winter, but the labd loses this energy faster in the winter - whereas the water retains much more. This is why England (surrounded by water) is much warmer in winter than Moscow (surrounded by land) even though both are at the same latitude on earth. Also, moscow is far warmer in the summer.

But keep in mind that unless the water freezes solid liquid water can easily be warmer(or less cold) than the air in winter.

What is the diff between land and sea breze?
Sea breezes are usually cold while land breezes are usually warm. (The land heats up the air, so that's why it is warm... and the water cools down the air above it so that is why it is usually colder.)
What is a flow of air from the sea to the land?
It is an on-shore breeze.
Why do land breezes occur during the night and sea breezes during the day?
First: what is wind? Winds are caused by differences in air pressure. These differences can be caused by changing atmospheric conditions, such as conditions between day and night. Air in an area of high pressure will move to an area of lower pressure in order to reach equilibrium. This horizontal movement of air is wind. Wind is named for the direction it comes from and not to where its headed. During the day, land is warmed at a faster rate than water (since water has a higher specific heat and therefore requires more time to be heated). The air over land is heated as well, and rises in the atmosphere. At the same time, cooler air from the sea moves to replace the rising warm air. This is because the rising, warmer air leaves the land and creates an area of low air pressure, while air over the sea is in an area of higher air pressure. Simultaneously, the warm air from the land cools and drops away from the land. This air raises the air pressure over the sea. The winds moving to replace risen air from land are the sea breeze. At night, the opposite process occurs. Since water has a higher specific heat than land, water retains its heat for a longer period of time. Thus, the sea is warmer than the land at night. Warm air from the sea rises, becomes colder and denser, falling over the land. Cooled air replaces risen air from the sea. This wind is the land breeze.
Sea and land breezes are caused because what?
Convection currents. The land warms up quicker than the sea under sunshine, the air ove it warms and rises sucking air in from over the sea. (Sea Breeze). A Land (or 'Katabatic') Breeze is the reverse process usually at night time, when the land cools more than the sea.
What are differences between land breeze and sea breeze?
They are opposites. A sea breeze occurs when the land is warmer than the sea. Warm air rises over land, creating low pressure that draws in more air from the sea. At the same time cooler air sinks over the sea. A land breeze reverses this process, with air rising over the warm water, drawing air in from the cooler land.
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".
What is it called when warm air over the water rises and replaced by cooler air from the land?
Colder air blowing in from the sea to the land is called a "sea breeze".
What is the diff between land and sea breze?
Sea breezes are usually cold while land breezes are usually warm. (The land heats up the air, so that's why it is warm... and the water cools down the air above it so that is why it is usually colder.)
Explain how the wind blows at the beach during the day and at night?
When you are on the beach, during the day the sun heats the land and makes the air above it hot this air rises and pulls in air from the sea to replace it, this is a sea breeze.At night the land cools down and when it is colder than the sea (which remains almost the same temperature day and night) then hot air rises from the sea surface and it pulls in air form the land, this is a land breeze.
When was Land Air Sea created?
Land Air Sea was created in 2003.
What does NAVY SEALS stand for?
SEa, Air and Land
Is the sea colder at night?
No, that's why there's land breeze at night, and sea breeze during the day. Sea breeze occurs during the day so it means it's colder than the land during the day. Hope you understand! :D
What is a flow of air from the sea to the land?
It is an on-shore breeze.
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 always true when there's a sea breeze?
when the ocean is colder than the land One thing that is true when there is a sea breeze is there is uneven land temperature.
What does the marines emblem mean?
Eagle-Air Globe-land Ancher-sea "In the Air, on Land, and Sea"
What effect do the oceans have on temperature?
The oceans have a large thermal mass, they heat up and cool down much slower then the surrounding air. This causes the effect known as a sea breeze. Hot air rises from the land and is replaced by cooler air from the sea. At night this is reversed, the air is colder than the water and the heat rises from the ocean and is replaced by cool air from the land, warming the land. This is why coastal temperatures are generally milder and change less over the course of a day than inland temperatures.because they are located close to sea
