Why does land heat up faster than water?

if you go to a desert and your in the middle of nowhere you get thirsty and have no water and need to find water to drink so the sun is the reason it heats faster than water in the desert

Land heats up faster than water primarily due to the high specific heat capacity of water, which requires more energy to raise its temperature. Additionally, water's ability to mix and evaporate helps distribute heat and stabilize its temperature, while land heats up quickly at the surface without similar depth penetration. These factors contribute to more rapid heating of land compared to water.
