Land breezes and sea breezes both are breezes, that is how they are similar.But they are different because one breeze is blowing from the sea to the land also called a "sea breeze",and one breeze is blowing from the land to the sea also called a "land breeze".

Answer;

Similarity;

-Land breeze and sea breezes take place near large bodies of water .

-They both are a slight wind current passing over.

Differences;

-The key difference between the two is location and humidity and also the property of water to retain and warm up longer.

-Another difference is that land breeze mostly occurs during the night while sea breeze occurs during the day.

Step-by-step explanation;

-A land breeze is created when the land is cooler than the water such as at night and the surface winds have to be very light.

-A sea breeze is created when the surface of the land is heated sufficiently to start air rising. As air rises, it is replaced by air from the sea; thus creating a sea breeze.
