I think it depends on if the object is confined and what it is made of. I really dont know but this is the best I could do and it is the only thing that I can think of.

Darker colors absorb light more efficiently, converting it to heat.

Dark objects absorb heat, while bright shiny ones reflect heat back.


How do opaque objects reduce the transfer of heat by radiation?

because black things absorb more heat and white things reflect it


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.


Why black colour absorb and radiate more heat?

The objects is black when no light reflect from it, hence, it absorb light very well. And at the same time, what can absorb light very well would radiate heat very well .


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.


Will water heat more in a black cup or a white cup when sitting in the sun?

Dark objects will absorb more sunlight, converting it into heat energy, which is then passed on to the water - thus making it heat faster.


Would material absorb more heat?

If there was more heat to absorb than was already in the material.
