The objects that absorb heat most readily are those with more of the following qualities:
- the object is large
- the object has a large surface area
- the object is black
- the object has a matte finish (it is not shiny)
- the object is made from a conductor such as metal
- the object is much colder than its surroundings
- the object has a high specific heat capacity

What types of surfaces absorb heat?
Dark, rough, and/or porous surfaces absorb the most heat (ex. Asphalt)
Why is it better to have a light coloured car in the summer than a dark one?
You must know that white (light colored object) absorbs the least amount of heat and dark colored objects absorb the most heat. Hence in summers, a light colored car will absorb less heat and keep the car cool while in winters, the dark cars will absorb more heat and keep the car warm.
Do transparent objects absorb most of the light that strikes them?
yes it does
The element which has the ability to absorb the most heat energy is?
helium
Does the color red take in solar energy?
Red-coloured objects appear red because they reflect mostly red light. Thus, they must absorb most of the other colours of light. Since light carries energy, they are absorbing solar energy, which is, of course, why objects that are left in the sun get hot. Objects that are coloured black absorb all visible frequencies (colours) of light, which makes them appear dark, and also means they will absorb the most solar energy and heat up fastest in the sun.
The Color That Absorbs The Most Heat.?
Black objects absorb the most heat

Which objects obsorb the most water?
Sponges and cotton absorb the most water.
What objects absorb heat the best?
a planet like the sun hahha the suns a star and the sun gives off heat but still funny. i assume most liquids and soft solids like butter and certain plastics. it all depends on the atomic structure of the element/object. most objects and substances absorb heat but i really think its about how much heat it takes to affect the object e.g causing it to change state like from solid to liquid then to gas. you heat water and it will be warm and you can boil it and it will give off steam. you want an object that absorb heat easily but not change state. perhaps a wet sponge or a dry one. try that - Shamus
When most substances absorb heat energy they?
expand
What kind of metals can absorb most heat?
Aluminum
What is most readily converted into other forms of energy?
Heat energy.
What colours absorb most heat?
Black absorbs the most heat. There are special coatings that have been engineered to absorb as much energy as possible 8or economic). Most of these are very dark, blue or black.
The element which has the ability to absorb the most heat energy is?
helium
What substance is used in a nuclear reactor to absorb heat released from the reactor?
In most reactors in the world, water is used to absorb heat released from the reactor.
