  1. During daytime the earth heats up it does not cool down. However the land holds heat less easily than the sea, so in the at the end of the night and in the early morning there are sea breezes.


  2. In day time water will cools down faster than land.....

    In winter you we can keep our legs in land but in water you can feel chillness...

  3. at daytime, the water is cool, while the land is warmer. the reason behind this is, molecules of sand(land) is intact or they are compressed because sand is solid while water has scattered molecules, the molecules are far from each other. When the sun rays hits the sand, it is easier for the molecules to transfer heat from another molecule for they are compressed. unlike water, with scattered molecules, it will take time before one molecule of water transfer heat to another molecule. by the time all molecules of water gets heated, it's already night time. try the sea, the water is warm at night and the sand is cool..and in the morning, the water is cool, the land is warm.

  4. Water takes a long time to change temperature. That's why places along the coast are more temperate than landlocked areas, as the relative steadiness of ocean temperature can regulate it. The earth will heat up during the day and cool off at night, but it takes whole seasons (and even then, sometimes oceans or large lakes will never warm up a whole lot) to have any influence on the water temperature in large bodies.
