Sand absorbs more solar energy than water because it has a lower albedo (reflectivity) compared to water. Water reflects a significant amount of sunlight due to its surface properties, while sand absorbs more of the solar energy that hits it, which is why it feels hotter to the touch on a sunny day.
A solar panel is a device that absorbs the Sun's radiant energy and converts it into electricity through a photoelectric effect.

solar panels
A device on a building that absorbs radiant energy from the sun is called a solar panel. Solar panels are designed to capture sunlight and convert it into usable electricity for powering various devices or buildings.
Clouds reflect 20% and absorb 4% of incoming solar energy.The atmosphere (water drops, dust and ozone) absorbs 16%.The surface of the earth (land, vegetation, water and ice) reflects 4% and absorbs 50%.
The plants absorbs the solar radiation and energy.
Absorbs
Chlorophyll is the pigment that reflects green light and absorbs other colors of light to provide energy for photosynthesis in plants.
The color black absorbs solar energy, which causes it to heat up. This absorption of solar energy can be harnessed for various applications, such as solar heating systems or solar panels to generate electricity.
The part of a solar panel that absorbs light and converts it into electrical energy is called solar cells or photovoltaic cells. These cells are typically made of silicon and generate electricity when sunlight hits them, creating a flow of electrons. This process is what allows solar panels to produce renewable energy.
