Why does water have a higher specific heat than land and how do specific heat properties of land and water influence the heating of the atmosphere?
Water has a higher specific heat capacity because of the strength of the hydrogen bonds. It requires a significant of energy to separate these bonds. The differential heating between water and land. Water, like the ocean, has a high specific heat, so it changes temperature slower. Land, like sandy beaches, has a low specific heat, so with the same amount of heat, it increases temperature more quickly compared to water.
Dr Naresh,
Your answer to your own question is not even all your own work.

I suggest to you that this is an improper use of ResearchGate.
@James Garry how do you find all these people lol? Bravo! We should all cut intellectual theft from the roots. Thieves can never be researchers.
Claudia,
I wish that I could turn a blind eye - ResearchGate, despite my regular protestations, fills my 'feed' with these questions that are, as you say, stealing content without appropriate attribution.
