Answer:

False.

Explanation:

The water can not heat up faster than the land if both receives similar solar radiation because land heats faster than water. Water has a higher specific heat capacity than soil which means that a lot of heat energy is needed to raise the temperature of water by one degree, while on the other hand, soil particles needs little energy to change the temperature of soil by one degree so that's why we can say that land heats faster than water.
