Answer:

Land breezes usually occur at night because during the day the sun will heat land surfaces, but only to a depth of a few inches.

During the night, water will retain more of its heat than land surfaces because water has a high heat capacity.

Step-by-step explanation:

To add on, the temperature of the land cools quickly without the insolation from the sun.
