If two surfaces cover the same geographic area, the one with a darker color will absorb more solar radiation than a lighter-colored surface. Dark surfaces, such as asphalt, have a lower albedo, meaning they reflect less sunlight and absorb more heat. In contrast, lighter surfaces, like sand or snow, reflect a significant portion of incoming solar radiation, resulting in lower absorption. Therefore, the color and material properties of the surfaces significantly influence their ability to absorb solar radiation.
