Do dark rocks absorb more heat than light rocks?

Dark rocks will absorb more radiant heat than light rocks, for the same reason that any dark object absorbs more heat than an equivalent light object. Light objects appear "light" to us because they reflect more light than objects which appear dark. Dark objects appear dark because they absorb more light and reflect less. However, dark objects will radiate more heat that light objects. Actually, dark rocks do NOT absorb more radiant heat than light rocks. Nor do they radiate more heat than light rocks. Dark rocks DO absorb more LIGHT than light rocks and they then radiate this light at heat. Light rocks reflect the light rather than absorb it and therefore do not radiate as much heat. If you put a light rock and a dark rock next to a HEAT source, the amount of heat absorbed will be related to the makeup of the material rather than to the color.
