Question

Can you tell why there is a difference in heating of land and water

Answer 1

Since land absorbs more and more solar radiations from sun than water which makes difference in heating of land and water.

Answer 2

Solar radiation warms both land surfaces and water on our planet. Land surfaces absorb much more solar radiation than water. This is due to the fact that most land surfaces are darker than water which of course means more absorption of solar radiation and heat. Water reflects most solar radiation that reaches its surface back to the atmosphere. Since land absorbs more solar radiation the land surface retains more heat as do the vegetation for energy. Thus, land surfaces warm more quickly than water.
