Changing the shingles on the roof of a house to a lighter color will most likely reduce the amount of solar energy that is?

Absorbed. Lighter colors reflect more solar energy away, and the lighter roof absorbs less heat.

Is the total mass and energy in the universe constantly changing?
The Law of conservation of mass-energy indicates that the mass-energy of the universe is constantly changing to maintain the mass-energy constant.
What affects the amount of solar energy that the planet receives?
well what affects solar energy i dont have a clue the question is what affects the amount of the solar energy that the planet receives.....
What does the total amount of energy and mass equivalent energy in the universe never do?
The total energy and the mass equivalent energy in the universe remain constant. That "total" energy never changes.

What is the function of a roof?
A roof provides protection from the elements as well as keeps heat in during the summer months. Many also attach solar panels to gather energy from the sun and use that energy later. It is attached to the house from the walls and there are shingles that create the roof.
What are the energy conversions?
Energy conversions is the process of energy changing form within a single object. For example, when you release a pendulum, the potential energy it had while being drawn upwards is changed into kinetic energy or the energy of movement. The total amount of energy is kept the same, but is simply changing the amount of energy each type had.

Does changing the number of magnets in a generator affect the amount of energy produced?
Yes
How does changing the temperature of solutions affect the amount of voltage that is going to be produced in votaic cell?
Changing the temperature increases the change in energy.
Why are some waves so big and other not so big?
The tide is constantly changing. The waves are formed by energy surging through the air so some energy is lighter which causes smaller and some energy is bigger and more powerful
What is a nuclear process in which a huge amount of energy is released and which can also be used to generate electrical energy in power stations?
Nuclear fission, the splitting of heavy atoms into lighter ones.
You live in south Florida you are putting up new shingles does color really effect indoor house temperature or energy efficiency?
It can. Lighter colors will attract and absorb less sunlight and subsequent radiation and heat, but lighter colored houses will darker colored roofs will be more neutral, and it does not matter too much.
What is the energy conversion of lighter?
The original energy source is of course the Sun - lighter fuel stores ancient Sunlight energy in the form of chemical energy. When the lighter is used this chemical energy is converted into a flame which is both thermal energy (heat) and electromagnetic energy (light). The heat of the flame is also converted into kinetic energy as the hot gasses rise.
What is the best way to make my home energy efficient?
Using a more efficient washer and dryer along with an energy efficient dishwasher will save a good amount of money as well as changing to energy efficient bulbs.
Can fourth and fifth state be used as source of energy in future?
I suppose you mean states of matter. 1) There are many different states of matter - much more than five. And I don't think there is a consistent numbering scheme, in which (for example) a Bose-Einstein-Condensate would always be called the "fifth state" by all scientists. 2) If changing one state of matter to another gives energy, the same amount of energy would be required to effect the change in the opposite direction. For example, changing water into ice gives off a certain amount of energy; changing the ice back to water, you require the same amount of energy. More, actually, because of inevitable losses.
What is an example of electrical energy changing to kinetic energy?
An electric motor or a fan would be an example of electrical energy changing to kinetic energy
Is a car being driven up a hill and being parked kinetic energy changing to potential energy?
Is it changing from kinetic energy to potential energy
