Why dull black surface heats up more quickly than bright shiny surfaces?

The shinier the object, the more heat will reflect off of it. For example, a black carwill heat up much faster as the dull black will absorb the heat, while a shiny coloured car will reflect the heat molocules off.


What colour car absorbs more heat black red blue green whiteshinyb or dull surface?

black, because darker colours absorb more heat than lighter colours. I'd say that dull colours absorb more heat, as shiny colours reflect more heat and light.


Does black hold more heat?

As opposed to what? Blue? I assume that you mean a black surface. A black surface will generally absorb more light than will a lighter colored surface. That's why you see it as black. In sunshine, it will heat up more than will a lighter colored surface because it is not reflecting as much light. Will it hold it? Beats me. What's it made of? All I know is that it's black.


What is the difference between the way black and white surfaces affect light?

Why is radiation of heat larger in a black surface than a white surface?

A black surface absorbs the heat radiation and a white surface reflects the heat radiation

Assuming by 'black top' you mean a road - they absorb heat from the road surface. And they use the heat to warm up (they are cold blooded) plus the warmth aids in digestion of food.
