What happens when the sun shines on a white surface?

Answer 1

The light from the sun, which is made up of equal parts of red, green and blue (even though it may not look it), will be reflected off of the white surface, staying white as the white surface reflects equal parts of red, green and blue.

Answer 2

When white light shines on a white object, the object appears white. This may sound silly, but let's look at what happens.

Answer 3

When the sun shines on a white surface, the surface reflects most of the sunlight back, resulting in a bright and high-intensity light. This reflection helps to keep the surface cooler compared to darker colors that absorb more heat.

Answer 4
