What is the difference between the way black and white surfaces affect light?
White surfaces reflect light and heat. Black surfaces do not reflect light and they absorb heat.White surfaces reflect light and heat. Black surfaces do not reflect light and they absorb heat.White surfaces reflect light and heat. Black surfaces do not reflect light and they absorb heat.White surfaces reflect light and heat. Black surfaces do not reflect light and they absorb heat.
What types of surfaces absorb heat?
Dark, rough, and/or porous surfaces absorb the most heat (ex. Asphalt)
The best absorbers of heat are what kinds of surfaces?
Black surfaces with large area absorb heat best (a powder for example that is black).
Why do rough surfaces absorb and radiate heat fast?
Due to their greater surface area.
What surfaces are better absorbers and emitters of thermal radiation?
Dark matt surfaces absorb heat radiation falling on them much better than bright glossy surfaces, such as gloss white or silver. They also emit much more heat radiation (at any given temp.)

Why does shiny surfaces absorbe more energy then dull surfaces?
Because, shiny surfaces reflect heat, they don't emit much heat and they don't absorb much heat!
The best absorbers of heat are what kinds of surfaces?
Black surfaces with large area absorb heat best (a powder for example that is black).
Why do rough surfaces absorb and radiate heat fast?
Due to their greater surface area.
Do dark or light surfaces attarct and absorb heat easier?
A dark surface will absorb the heat from sunlight. While a white surface will reflect a lot of the sunlight and remain cooler.
Do dark surfaces absorb more heat than light or reflective surfaces?
Because darker surfaces need more light because it's a dark surface
How do water and land surfaces differ in their abilities to absorb and radiated heat energy?
Land absorbs more heat energy than water does.
How does the type of surface affect heating by radiation?
Dark matt surfaces absorb radiated heat much more easily than light-coloured shiny surfaces.
Why does something shiny stop heat radiation?
Types of light energy are reflected off of shiny surfaces back into the atmosphere. Other surfaces, such as darker ones, absorb the light energy and heat up much quicker.
Factors affecting the temperature of soil?
Humus content of the soil. What think the heat scientists about black surfaces and heat absorption? Black surfaces absorb heat faster and contain it longer. Mostly, humus is black or dark in color. Soil with much of the humus content tends to absorb more heat and gets heated faster than soil c9ontaining less humus.
What surfaces are better absorbers and emitters of thermal radiation?
Dark matt surfaces absorb heat radiation falling on them much better than bright glossy surfaces, such as gloss white or silver. They also emit much more heat radiation (at any given temp.)
