Will water heat more in a black cup or a white cup when sitting in the sun?

Water will heat more in a black cup than in a white cup when sitting in the sun because black absorbs more light and heat energy, while white reflects it. This means that the black cup will absorb more heat from the sun's rays, warming up the water more quickly.


Does a paper cup keep water hotter than a plastic cup?

A paper cup typically does not keep water hotter than a plastic cup. Paper is a poor insulator compared to plastic, so heat is more likely to escape from a paper cup, leading to faster cooling of the water inside.


what type of cup keeps hot water hottest Paper or metal?

A metal cup will generally keep hot water hotter for longer compared to a paper cup. Metal is a better insulator than paper, so it helps to retain heat more effectively.


Will water heat up faster in a white or dark cup?

Water will heat up faster in a dark cup because dark colors absorb more heat from the surroundings compared to light colors like white, which reflect more heat. This means that a dark cup will help the water absorb heat more quickly and reach a higher temperature faster.


Which cup keeps hot water the hottest polystyrene or metal?

Polystyrene (especially the expanded "Styrofoam (R)" type) is a good insulator. Metals are good conductors of heat.The insulating cup will maintain a greater heat differential than the conductor so if there is a liquid in the cup that is at a greater temperature than the surroundings, the metal cup will loose more heat than the polystyrene cup.

Does the color of a cup affect how fast ice melts?

if the cup is dark colored then it absorbs more heat and thus help in melting the ice more quickly.This is also the principle behind usage of dark colored sweaters. ANSWER The color of the cup does not matter. It is the material that the cup is made of that maters. If it is an insulator of heat or not. A white styrofoam cup will keep a liquid hotter longer than a black paper cup.


A cup of water and a large pot of water have a temperature of 50 degree celsius. which is hotter?

The cup of water and the large pot of water are both at the same temperature of 50 degrees Celsius, so they are equally hot. Temperature is a measure of the average kinetic energy of the particles in a substance, so in this case, both the cup and the pot contain water at the same level of heat energy.

What ones hotter a cup of tea or water from the kettle?

If the water in the cup came from the kettle, it will be cooler than the water that remains in the kettle. Since the water in the cup is more exposed to the air than the kettle it will lose heat to evaporation more quickly than the water in the kettle will. The cup will also conduct heat way from the water until the water and the cup are the same temperature, whereas the kettle is already as hot as the water it contains.
