Physical objects absorb heat when the molecules of which they consist absorb energy and increase their velocity. Molecules are always moving, or vibrating in a lattice structure. They can absorb energy through physical collisions with molecules of another object or medium (air, water), or through direct absorption of radiant energy. In either case, the molecules then increase their velocity and the object of which they are a part are said to become hotter, having absorbed heat.

How can you test if a fabric material is heat-absorbent?

You can test if a fabric material is heat-absorbent by placing a sample of the fabric in direct sunlight or exposing it to a heat source. After a certain period of time, you can touch the fabric to feel if it has absorbed heat compared to another fabric sample. Additionally, you can use a thermometer to measure the temperature increase of the fabric.

Is metal absorbent?

Metals are generally not absorbent; they are solid materials that do not absorb liquids or gases in the same way porous materials do. Instead, metals can conduct and reflect heat and electricity, and they can also form bonds with certain gases or liquids at their surfaces. However, some metals can absorb certain gases to a limited extent, but this is not the same as being absorbent in the traditional sense.
