it's depends on element's of black surface
that element absorb the sun light and convert it to thermal energy
and in the other side white surface doesn't had a much element like black surface.

Do white colors reflect the sun more than dark colors?
Technically, White is not a color ... However, white and light coloured surfaces tend to reflect light while black and dark coloured surfaces tend to absorb light.
Does gray absorb more light then white?
Yes it does. Black absorbs the most light. That is why in a car, for example, black seats are hotter than white or tan. Also the material matters as well. Rougher surfaces absorb more heat than smoother surfaces. That is also why leather seats absorb more light, or heat, and feel hotter than other material seats.

Is heat attracted to certain colors?
Yes. What is true about black surfaces is that they are much more absorbent. Some surfaces reflect light much more than others, and the difference roughtly correlates with color to our eyes. White surfaces reflect better, black surfaces absorb better.
If a black car and a white car are left in the Sun the black car will tend to be hotter. This is because the black car's surface will more light energy than a white car.?
Black surfaces absorb more energy than any other color
Why does a black object heat better than white?

How much light can the color white absorb?

Do darker colours absorb light?
