If an object is white in sunlight it will be green in green light. A white object reflects all wavelengths (colors) of light that shine on it. If only green light shines on it, that color will be reflected and the object will look green.
It is reflected and/or absorbed depending on the color of the light and the object.
The material an object is made of and the color of light it reflects can determine how hot an object gets when it is left out in the sun. Color and material both affect the amount of heat an object will absorb.
Since an object is observed as the color(s) it reflects, a green object absorbs all colors and reflects green.
A "green" object is called "green" because that's the only color of light it reflects, and it absorbs any other color. If orange light is shining on it, then there's no light for it to reflect, and it looks black to you.
The apparent color of the object.
The apparent color of the object.
The Answer is color. Because color has to do with light and physical properties.
If an object is white in sunlight it will be green in green light. A white object reflects all wavelengths (colors) of light that shine on it. If only green light shines on it, that color will be reflected and the object will look green.

When white light is made up of many colors. The reason you see green is because the green object reflects green light back to you and and all the other colors are absorbed by the object.

green the pigments absorb every color in the light spectrum but green.

White light. The colors that we see are actually the colors NOT absorbed by the object they strike: for example, if the sun's light strikes a pink triangle, it is because the triangle absorbs all the frequencies of light EXCEPT for the color pink. If the only color we see is green reflected off a car, then all wavelengths of color are absorbed except for green.
