I believe that shiny surfaces reflect radiant energy.
The shiny materials are said to reflect most radiant energy. That's what gives them the quality of being shiny. Generally speaking, shiny materials are reflecting most of the light striking them, and this translates into the fact that shiny materials generally do not absorb radiant energy.
Darker colours (ex. black, navy blue) absorb more radiant energy than light colours, like white. Also, it helps if the surface is dull (not shiny) and cold at the beginning, because cold things absorb more radiant energy.
Darker colors such as black absorb radiant heat best, as they absorb more light energy. Rough, matte textures also absorb heat more efficiently compared to smooth, shiny surfaces, as they have more surface area for heat absorption.
When radiant heat falls on a body, it can be absorbed, reflected, or transmitted through the body. The absorption of radiant heat by a body depends on factors such as the material's surface properties, color, texture, and temperature. Materials with dark colors and matte surfaces tend to absorb more radiant heat compared to light-colored and shiny surfaces.
The heating of a solid body, which absorbs radiant energy, was studied. With sufficient radiantenergy flow, the surface of the body can achieve such a high temperature that the physiochemical conversions of the material are unavoidable. Emphasis was placed upon the one-dimensional problem of the evaporation of the solid body, heated from the incident radiant energy. It is assumed that the flow of radiant energy is absorbed on the surface of the body and is equivalent to the thermal flow q on the boundary whose value depends on time t and on the surface temperature. There are two cases of surface evaporation examined: body evaporation and evaporation into the medium filled far from the body.

Dark, matte surfaces tend to absorb radiation more effectively than light or shiny surfaces. Materials such as asphalt, soil, and water have higher absorption rates compared to materials like concrete, sand, or metal. The absorbed radiation is converted into heat energy by the surface.
Poor absorbers of heat radiation include materials that are light in color, shiny, or reflective, such as aluminum foil or white paint. These materials do not easily absorb heat energy from radiation and may instead reflect it away.
It can be absorbed and become thermal energy such as by a dark rough brick laying in the sun. It can be absorbed and radiated at a lower frequency (longer wavelength). It can be reflected by a very shiny object and thus not change.
Types of light energy are reflected off of shiny surfaces back into the atmosphere. Other surfaces, such as darker ones, absorb the light energy and heat up much quicker.
Because, shiny surfaces reflect heat, they don't emit much heat and they don't absorb much heat!
It means that something or someone is so bright and shiny that they radiate light. The word radiant usually means something that has a very bright light, radium is named because it gives light.
Dull dark objects absorb more light and heat energy than bright shiny objects, which reflect more light. The absorbed light energy is then converted into heat, causing dull dark objects to emit more heat. Bright shiny objects reflect a greater portion of incoming light, so less energy is absorbed and emitted as heat.
