Does Land Or Water Absorb More Heat

Does Land Or Water Absorb More Heat. Water changes temperature much more slowly than air does. Why does the ocean heat slower than land?

Darker materials have a tendency to absorb more radiation (sun energy), and this, in turn, can make land masses hotter. The land gets warmer as it absorbs heat from the sun, but the water is slower to absorb the heat, so it stays cooler. How does the land and water heat up?
