Yes, different surfaces can affect heat absorption. Darker surfaces tend to absorb more heat from the sun compared to lighter surfaces because they absorb a greater amount of solar radiation. Additionally, the material composition and texture of a surface can also influence its heat absorption properties.
When radiated heat arrives at a surface, three things can happen: reflection, transmission, and absorption. Reflection occurs when the heat bounces off the surface, transmission is when the heat passes through the surface, and absorption is when the surface absorbs the heat energy.
Materials with different textures absorb heat differently because texture affects the surface area available for heat absorption. Materials with rough or uneven textures have a larger surface area, allowing for more heat absorption compared to materials with smooth textures which have a smaller surface area. Additionally, the composition and conductivity of the material can also impact how efficiently heat is absorbed.
A black surface tends to absorb more heat than a polished surface. The dark color of a black surface allows it to absorb a wider range of wavelengths of light, converting more of the light into heat. A polished surface reflects more light, which results in less absorption of heat.
A shiny silvered surface is generally better at radiating heat compared to a white surface. The reflective nature of silver helps to minimize heat absorption, allowing it to emit more thermal radiation and cool down faster.
The sponge absorption process works by soaking up liquid through tiny pores in the sponge material. Factors that affect the efficiency of sponge absorption include the material of the sponge, the size of the pores, the density of the sponge, and the surface area of the sponge.

The albedo of a surface affects how much sunlight it reflects or absorbs. Surfaces with high albedo reflect more sunlight, reducing heat absorption. Surfaces with low albedo absorb more sunlight, leading to higher heat absorption and warming of the Earth.

Color affects surface temperature through absorption and reflection of light. Darker colors absorb more light and heat up more than lighter colors, which reflect more light and heat. This can result in darker surfaces becoming hotter than lighter surfaces when exposed to sunlight.
The sponge absorption process works by soaking up liquid through tiny pores in the sponge material. Factors that affect the efficiency of sponge absorption include the material of the sponge, the size of the pores, the density of the sponge, and the surface area of the sponge.
In addition to color, other parameters to consider could include surface texture, material composition, thickness, and exposure angle. These factors can influence heat absorption by affecting how light interacts with the surface, such as reflectivity, absorbance, and emissivity. Conducting tests with variations in these parameters can provide a more comprehensive understanding of the impact of color on heat absorption.
Two factors that influence the rate of absorption and radiation of heat of an object are the material of the object and its surface area. Materials with high thermal conductivity absorb and release heat more quickly than those with low thermal conductivity. Objects with a larger surface area tend to absorb and radiate heat more efficiently than those with a smaller surface area.
IR absorbing paint is effective in reducing heat absorption on surfaces by absorbing infrared radiation, which helps to lower the temperature of the surface. This can help to reduce heat buildup and energy costs associated with cooling.
Evaporation is an endothermic process (absorption of heat).
The lower atmosphere, known as the troposphere, is warmed by heat from Earth's surface. This warming is due to the absorption of outgoing radiation by greenhouse gases such as carbon dioxide and water vapor, which trap heat in the atmosphere.
