Why is a roof made of zinc hotter than a roof made of ceramic on a hot day?

A roof made of zinc is hotter because, unlike ceramic, it reflects the sunlight and radiation off of the surface. On the other hand, ceramic absorbs the light, and the heat is trapped inside, so no heat escapes. Therefore, it is not as hot as the zinc would be.
