Rocks, stone or sand absorb the solar radiations more rapidly than water. So, they get heated up more quickly when compared to water.
The retention capacity of the heat of water is more for water. So, the cooling time of a stone is also more than that of water.
Water has a high specific heat capacity when compared to stone or sand. Therefore, the heating and cooling capacities of stone are quicker than that of water.
That's why stone houses are built which can retain heat during winters and are cool during summers.
