I think this is the answer, but I'm not so sure. The sun gives of different waves varied according to their wave length. We see different colors because for example green leaves absorbs all colors except for the color green which is reflected and bounced back to its surroundings causing us to see the color green. In black things, it absorbs all colors thus causing us to see black.
In other words, it absorbs all the waves that is given of by the sun which makes it a heat sink.

Why black bodies are good absorbers of heat?
the color black is a good conductor of heat, so black bodies are good absorbers of heat
Why is a sink called a sink?
Probably because it draws/absorbs the heat making the heat "sink" into it
A device that absorbs and draws heat from a hot object dispersing it into the surroundings is which one of the following?
Heat sink
How are heat sink and carbon sink related?
heat sink is when heat is absorbed into any type of environment, including the aquatic ecosystem; and carbon sink is when CO2 is absorbed into any type of environment including the terrestrial ecosystem.
Why is black a good conductor of heat?
yes it absorbs heat better
How does heat capacity makes water a good heat sink?
If a body of water has a high heat capacity, it can store more thermal energy making it a good heat sink.
Why black bodies are good absorbers of heat?

What is the function of a processor heat sink?
To sink the heat.
Why is a sink called a sink?
Probably because it draws/absorbs the heat making the heat "sink" into it
How does a heat sink work in the power supply?
A heat sink works on the principle of thermal transfer. The heat sink transfers heat from the chip to the air, wicking heat away.
Is water a type of heat sink?
Yes! Water is a heat sink.
What is fansink?
A Fan sink is a Heat sink with a fixed FAN. Heat sink's are blocks of metal, primarily used are are copper, and aluminum, that draw heat from a source ( such as your Processor, or another heat producing chip set ) and spread it across its surface area to be air cooled. A Fan sink, combine's the heat drawing of it's sink with a dedicated fan blowing air into ore out from the heat sink below it. This will significantly improve the sinks cooling power. So a processor cooler is most likely a Fan sink, but some chips surrounding it may only have a heat sink. ( Southbridge controller is usually placed near your CPU and is fitted with a black block of metal that has a lot of blades on it )
Why is it called a heat sink?

What is normally applied to the heat sink of a CPU to insure good heat?
Thermal compound is usually applied to a CPU's heat sink to allow heat from the CPU to be transferred to the heat sink more effectively. The most commonly used brand by PC enthusiasts is Arctic Silver 5, a silver-based compound that transfers heat extremely well due to it's metallic base.
Why black objects heat up more in sunshine?
because black is good absorber of heat
A device that absorbs and draws heat from a hot object dispersing it into the surroundings is which one of the following?
Heat sink
