The reason something looks black to us is because it reflects less light - therefore, the light is absorbed. The energy of the absorbed light, of course, heats the object up. Please note that black objects also tend to emit thermal radiation faster - so if there is no sunlight, they will get cold faster.

∙ 12y agoblack cools quicker because darker colors tend to absorb heat
Wiki User
∙ 13y agoBecause dark colours radiate or absorb heat better than light colours.
Wiki User
∙ 15y agoBecause The shiny can reflects the infra-red (heat) rays and the black can doesn't.
Wiki User
∙ 13y agoThis is because black bodies are better emitters of heat radiation than white bodies.
Wiki User
∙ 14y agoFaster than what? The answer is probably yes - black objects both absorb and radiate heat faster than objects of other colours, but surface finish (glossy or matt) also has an effect.

∙ 13y agoobaque colors absorbs light
but the light colors reflects light
other way black color absorbs light but white reflecs most of the light incident
Wiki User
∙ 14y agoblack absorbs more energy than white so yes it would heat faster
Wiki User
∙ 10y agobecause the black absorbs more sunlight than the colour white.

What is a star formed from a white dwarf that has lost its energy?
A white dwarf is the last stage of 97% of star evolution. A white dwarf will eventually cool down, and become a "black dwarf". Black dwarves are not expected to exist yet; to cool down to that level, it would take longer than the current age of the Universe.
