Question

Which of the following cools down faster at night?

• A. Land cools faster
• B. Water cools faster
• C. Land and water cool down at the same rate
• D. Land or water, depending on the day of the month

Answer 1

The correct option is A

Land cools faster

Land gets cooled faster at night whereas sea gets cooled slowly.
During day time, land gets heated faster as compared to the water.
This is because water is good at storing heat, as it takes a larger amount of heat energy than land to bring a change in its temperature.
The opposite applies the same way too. Water cools down slower than land.
