Dark objects do not reflect light. Light is absorbed by them.

How do transparent translucent and opaque objects affect light?
transparent and translucent objects are the objects that let the light pass through them eg glass, but sometimes translucent objects are colorful so they change the color of the light as it passes through them opaque objects can either absorb the light, like dark material, or reflect, like a mirror.
Why do light colored objects feel cooler than dark colored objects?
Because dark colours absorbs light/heat, while light colours reflect light/heat.
When light is absorbed does it get attracted to dark objects?
no

Why does shiny and light coloured objects reflect more light than rough and dark objects?
Well that is sort of the definition of "shiny" and "light"... The outer electrons in theses materials have the ability to send incoming photons back out.

Could dark objects reflect light?
Yes. There is hardly anything that reflects NO light; dark objects simply reflect less light than light objects.
Why do dark colors heat up more than light colors?
They have a lower "albedo" if you will. Light objects reflect light at a greater rate than dark objects which absorb it. This is why dark objects heat up more than light ones.
Do light objects make your cookies dark or light?
both.

Why do you think dark colored objects appear dark when light hits them?
dark object absorb more light than light colors
How would red and green colour objects look like when viewed through Green light?
Green objects would appear green and red objects would appear very dark.
Why Night Flying insect Emits light?
Well its a bit like a light with a solar panel. It senses the dark through its back and its light comes on. it cant see very well with its light on either
Why does drawing the curtain make it dark in the room?
Light can pass through some materials. An example of a material like this would be glass. It cant go through all materials. When materials let light through, we call that transparency.

Do dark rocks absorb more heat than light rocks?
Dark rocks will absorb more radiant heat than light rocks, for the same reason that any dark object absorbs more heat than an equivalent light object. Light objects appear "light" to us because they reflect more light than objects which appear dark. Dark objects appear dark because they absorb more light and reflect less. However, dark objects will radiate more heat that light objects. Actually, dark rocks do NOT absorb more radiant heat than light rocks. Nor do they radiate more heat than light rocks. Dark rocks DO absorb more LIGHT than light rocks and they then radiate this light at heat. Light rocks reflect the light rather than absorb it and therefore do not radiate as much heat. If you put a light rock and a dark rock next to a HEAT source, the amount of heat absorbed will be related to the makeup of the material rather than to the color.
