Only the part you want heated is black- because black absorbs light (including infrared light- heat) Other colors will reflect light, and it will not get as hot. Try standing in the sun in a white T shirt, and again in a black T shit. See which one gets hot first.

Why is a solar cooker painted black from outside?

A solar cooker is painted black on the outside because black surfaces absorb more heat than lighter colors. This property enhances the cooker's ability to capture and retain solar energy, increasing the temperature inside the cooker. The absorbed heat is then transferred to the cooking pot, allowing food to cook efficiently using sunlight.

Why are the pipes of solar heater and the containers of solar cooker painted black?

The pipes of solar heaters and the containers of solar cookers are painted black because black surfaces absorb more sunlight and convert it into heat more efficiently than lighter colors. This maximizes the absorption of solar energy, enhancing the overall effectiveness of these devices in capturing and retaining heat. The increased heat absorption helps to raise the temperature of the water or food being heated, making the systems more efficient in their energy use.
