Why is sun attracted to dark colors?

The sun is not "attracted" to dark colours. Dark colours simply absorb energy more efficiently than light colours. Light colours reflect the energy away, so they don't heat up the way that dark colours do. To say that dark colours "attract" the sun is simply an incorrect way of saying it.


When light is absorbed does it get attracted to dark objects?

No, light is not attracted to dark objects. When light is absorbed by an object, it is converted into other forms of energy (such as heat) or used in various processes depending on the material. Dark objects appear dark because they absorb more light and reflect less compared to lighter objects.

Why is the sun attracted to dark colors?

The question is a little off. Sunlight isn't 'attracted' to anything, in the sense that light 'wants to move toward' certain colors. But when light shines on objects of different colors, different parts of the light are reflected off of the objects and absorbed by the objects. An object that is close to a very pure white color will reflect most of the light that shines on it; an object that is close to a very pure black color will absorb most of the light that shines on it, and so will absorb more energy.


How is the sun attracted to dark colors?

Are maggots attracted to light?

Earthworms do not like the light, the sun in particular, disorients them. It also makes them extremely dry. That is why you will see worms on the sidewalk no where neat dirt or grass. They pop up to find food on the grass, the sun hits them, they become disoriented and they flop around usually hitting the pavement or cement. The sun dries them out and they die and shrivel up.
