What is the answer of light or heat reflected by something?
The answer depends on what the question is!

Why is the light of moon not as hot as the sun light?
The moon does not radiate any heat or light of its own, it merely reflects the sun's heat and light. But since the moon is many times smaller than the sun, it only receives a small fraction of the heat and light -- and much less when it is in the shadow of the earth. However, most of the heat and light striking the moon is absorbed by the moon itself, or is reflected into space, thus there's very little reflected back to earth.

Why do darker colors absorb the most heat?
White light is a mixture of colors. When white light strikes a dark object little or no energy is reflected. When white light strikes a white object the energy is mostly reflected, not absorbed.Miissmeg.
