Answer

Land is heated and cooled faster than the sea because water is mobile and the warm water mixes easily with the cold water and is neither heated nor cooled quickly. On the other hand, the Sun's rays heat a piece of land more rapidly because unlike water, the heat obtained by the area remains confined to that area and does not mix with other areas of land.
