Water has a high specific heat capacity, which means it absorbs a lot of energy in order to increase in temperature (thus releases a lot of energy when it decreases in temperature). This means water can absorb a great deal of the energy on hot days, keeping the surrounding air cooler, and release a lot of energy to the air on cool days, keeping the air warmer

When you live near the ocean are summers cooler and winters warmer?
Yes the proximity of the Ocean, which changes temperature very little (as compared to land) between summer and winter, means that the air coming off the ocean remains at a lower temperature than inland air during the summer and warmer than inland air during the winter.

Is Hydrogen cooler than Air?
Hydrogen is lighter than air. As to the temperature it depends on where the heat source is, hydrogen can either be warmer, cooler or the same temperature as air
When warmer objects come into contact with cooler ones the warmer one loses heat and the cooler ones gain it until?
Until they reach thermal equilibrium - that is, until they both have the same temperature.
How does temperature affect the height of a dropped ball?
when there is more moisture in the air, it is warmer and thicker. when there is less moisture in the air it is cooler and thinner. so if it is cooler temperature then it will drop faster.
