What is the difference between the sea breeze and the land breeze?

can you explain the sea breeze and the land breeze

​Sea breeze: During the day, the land heats up faster than oceans do. Above land, warm air is less dense, resulting in an area of low pressure. Warm air over land rises, while cooler air over oceans sinks, creating wind currents. Wind moves from high-pressure areas to low-pressure areas, so winds blow toward the coast.

Land breeze: In contrast, the land cools faster than oceans during the night. Therefore, warmer air above oceans rises while cooler air over land sinks. Winds blow away from the coast from high to low areas of pressure

why can we see two colors in ocean currents?
