They couldn't shine AND have a shadow on them at the same time, as when something shines it is reflecting light. A shadow is an area where little/no light is reaching due to something between it and the light source.

Why The shiny surfaces reduces heat loss by?

Shiny surfaces reduce heat loss by reflecting thermal energy back into the space, preventing it from escaping. This is because shiny surfaces have low emissivity, meaning they emit less heat through radiation compared to dull surfaces. By reflecting heat back into the space, shiny surfaces help to maintain a warm environment and reduce the energy needed for heating.


What are shiny surfaces?

Shiny surfaces reflect light and appear smooth and glossy. They often have a polished or reflective finish that creates a mirror-like effect. Materials like metal, glass, and polished wood can have shiny surfaces.

Is shiny a good insulator?

No, shiny surfaces are not good insulators. Shiny surfaces are reflective and do not support the absorption and retention of heat, which is a characteristic of good insulators. Good insulators are materials with low thermal conductivity that trap heat effectively.


Do dull silver and shiny white surfaces always emit the same amount of radiation?

No, dull silver surfaces may emit less radiation than shiny white surfaces because the reflectivity of a material affects its ability to absorb and emit radiation. Shiny white surfaces reflect more radiation compared to dull silver surfaces that may absorb and emit more radiation.
