Materials that are good conductors of heat, such as metal or blackened surfaces, heat up water faster in a solar cooker. These materials absorb and transfer solar energy more efficiently, resulting in quicker heating of the water.
Solar hot water panels have a matt black surface because black surfaces absorb more sunlight and convert it into heat more efficiently than other colors. The dark color allows the panel to absorb more of the sun's energy, maximizing the heating capacity of the system.
The amount of solar energy absorbed by a solar panel depends on factors such as the panel's efficiency, size, orientation, and location. On average, a solar panel can absorb around 15-20% of the sunlight that hits it, but this can vary.
Water vapor does not block solar energy from reaching the Earth's surface, as it is transparent to sunlight. However, water vapor can interact with incoming solar radiation by absorbing and scattering some of the energy, contributing to the greenhouse effect and warming the Earth's atmosphere.
Black surfaces absorb more solar energy than lighter colors because they absorb a wider range of wavelengths. This absorption of solar energy can increase the temperature of the surface, making it a good choice for solar panels to convert sunlight into electricity.
solar panels are in black and in dark blue color because they absorb more energy
Yes it does.
Materials that are good conductors of heat, such as metal or blackened surfaces, heat up water faster in a solar cooker. These materials absorb and transfer solar energy more efficiently, resulting in quicker heating of the water.
Dark colors such as black, dark brown, and dark blue are best at absorbing solar energy because they absorb a wider range of wavelengths across the visible and infrared spectrum. Lighter colors like white and light yellow reflect more sunlight and therefore absorb less solar energy.

Land absorbs solar radiation when sunlight hits the surface and is converted into heat energy. Water also absorbs sunlight, but it has a higher heat capacity, meaning it can absorb more energy before heating up. This leads to differences in temperature between land and water, influencing climate patterns and weather systems.
Solar collectors should ideally be black in color to maximize energy absorption. Black surfaces absorb more sunlight and convert it into heat energy, which can then be utilized for various applications such as generating electricity or heating water. Lighter colored surfaces reflect more sunlight, resulting in lower absorption of energy.
There are many reasons why oceans and land absorb the sun's energy differently. Land is usually darker than water so it absorbs more energy. The ocean is more reflective, and therefore uses less energy to absorb the energy.
Greenhouse Gases (water, carbon dioxide, methane, SF6 etc.) are made up of at least two molecules. The bond size between the atoms in the molecules is such that it can absorb heat more easily than other molecules. When solar energy comes to the atmosphere they absorb the solar energy as heat then radiate it to other atmospheric (non-greenhouse) gases such as nitrogen and oxygen..

"Non-conventional" refers more or less to anything that is not fossil fuels. It may be solar energy (i.e., directly capturing the solar energy), or several other types of energy - such as wind energy, water energy, and many others more.
Oceans absorb and store more heat from the Sun due to their higher heat capacity and depth, resulting in slower temperature changes compared to land. Land absorbs solar energy more quickly, leading to faster heating and cooling cycles. Additionally, oceans have a higher albedo (reflectivity) compared to land, which affects the amount of solar energy absorbed.
