Which get heated faster land or air?

Answer 1

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.

Answer 2

Land generally heats up faster than air because land has a lower specific heat capacity, meaning it requires less energy to raise its temperature compared to air. This is why you may feel warmer standing on hot sand or pavement than in the surrounding air on a sunny day.

Answer 3

As a general rule, solids usually heat more quickly than water due to the unique properties of water molecules, which are relatively resistant to changes in temperature. Therefore land heats up, and cools down, faster than lakes and oceans.

Answer 4

No.

The amount of heat a substance absorbed is determined by its heat capacity. The specific heat capacity of sea water would be relatively high. Water has a specific heat of 4.18 J / K g. That means it takes 4.18 Joules of energy to heat 1 gram of water 1 degree Celsius (or Kelvin). Metals have a low heat capacity, therefore, it takes little energy to heat up 1 gram of copper for example. 0.39 Joules to heat 1 g of Cu 1 degree.

The heat capacity of land is lower than that of water. The exact heat capacity of land would depend on whether it was bare dirt or sand or rock or vegetation. No matter it would be no more than half that of water.

It takes more energy to heat water than land and, therefore, the land would heat faster.

Result: If you live beside the sea or a large lake you will enjoy less temperature extremes than people who live inland. In Summer the water will absorb a lot of the heat and you will have cooling breezes from the water during the day. The land will lose heat during the night and the breezes will flow in the other direction.

Answer 5

Land heats up more quickly than water, and also loses heat more quickly than water. This is why the ocean is still warm at the end of summer even when the land is cooling down. It also explains why the ocean is cold at the beginning of summer, even though the land is warm.

Answer 6

Land.

Because the specific heat capacity or the amount of heat that needs to be added to every gram of water to raise it by 1 Degree is greater than the specific heat capacity of racks and soil.Hence sea gets heated up slower than land.

Answer 7

Heat travels faster in water compared to land. This is why land is normally hotter than the sea during the day or night.

Answer 8

land because if you get in water when its hot it will be cold

Answer 9

it does, but it also cools down quicker. so the earth heats up slower but retains the heat better

Answer 10

Land heats up faster and loses heat faster than water.
