What else can I help you with?
Do mirror absorb heat?
Mirrors do not absorb heat; they reflect light instead. The reflective coating on the back of the mirror is designed to bounce light off the surface rather than allow it to pass through. This property is why mirrors are often used to redirect light rather than absorb it.
Why dark surfaces are good absorbers of heat and shiny surfaces are poor absorbers of heat?
If you are talking in terms of the suns heat being absorbed by the surfaces then I have the answer. Shiny surfaces naturally deflect the suns rays where as dark surfaces are easy conductors of heat as they naturally catch the suns rays. You will notice with leather or print on a shirt that it gets hot because the rays have nowhere to go. A shiny surface will just deflect it back.
What heat transfer method is used to capture the suns energy?
Solar energy is primarily captured using radiation heat transfer. Solar panels are designed to absorb sunlight and convert it into electricity or heat through the process of photovoltaics or solar thermal technology.
Will tin foil absorb heat?
Tin foil does not absorb heat, but it can reflect heat if it is shiny and smooth. This can help to trap heat in or keep heat out, depending on how it is used.
Which is a better conductor of heat white color or silver color?
Tricky question. If the surfaces are the same, then silver will absorb more, but in the case of a silver mirror, it will reflect more light, so the white will absorb more. Save
How does the ocean absorb heat?
The ocean absorbs heat through the suns rays
Do mirror absorb heat?
Mirrors do not absorb heat; they reflect light instead. The reflective coating on the back of the mirror is designed to bounce light off the surface rather than allow it to pass through. This property is why mirrors are often used to redirect light rather than absorb it.
How is solar power collected and stored?
Solar power is collected by solar panels, and stored in currents
What percent of the suns heat can clouds absorb on cloudy days?
About 6% of the shortwave energy that comes from the sun is actually absorbed by clouds on a cloudy day.

What does the suns heat and light come from?
the suns heat light and energy comes from the core of the sun and travels trough space
What percent of the suns heat can can clouds absorb on a cloudy day?
About 6% of the shortwave energy that comes from the sun is actually absorbed by clouds on a cloudy day.
How do the suns heat get to the earth?
Radiation
Is helium a greenhouse gas?
because it can absorb and re-emit the suns energy
What are the role of chlorophyll?
The absorb the suns ray to eventually create food for the plant.
Do black objects absorb heat?
They absorb light which is converted into heat energy
