Sir John Leslie, a Scottish physicist, discovered that lighter-colored fabric helps keep you cooler than darker colors. This is because lighter colors reflect more sunlight and heat, while darker colors absorb more heat, making the person feel warmer.
Darker colors tend to absorb more light and heat, whereas lighter colors reflect more light and heat. This is why objects with darker colors might feel hotter to the touch when exposed to sunlight, compared to lighter-colored objects.
Darker colored cans absorb more sunlight than lighter colored cans because they are better at absorbing all wavelengths of light. This absorbed energy is then converted to heat, causing the darker cans to heat up faster. Lighter colored cans reflect more sunlight, so they absorb less energy and heat up slower.
Isaac Newton discovered that when light passes through a prism, it splits into the seven colors of the rainbow. This phenomenon is known as the dispersion of light.
Sir Isaac Newton is the scientist who discovered that light splits into the seven colors of the rainbow when it passes through a prism. He conducted experiments with light and prisms in the 17th century, leading to his groundbreaking findings in the field of optics.
Isaac Newton is the correct answer. Newtons law of light.;)
Lighter colors reflect more light. Darker colors absorb more light. Sunlight is energy. You feel warmth when the sun shines on you because you are absorbing the energy of the sunlight. Darker colors absorb more energy so get warmer than lighter colors ------------------- Just like this answer ^^, dark colors do absorb more heat than lighter colors. Question is, I'm not really sure why.
Darker colors absorb light and heat; lighter colors reflect light and heat.
They are brown with a lighter brown or cream colored underside.

Dark colored (esp black), since they "hold" more sunlight than lighter colors.
White (or lighter colors) reflects light while black (or darker colors) absorbs it as heat.

Different colors absorb and reflect light differently, affecting how much heat they absorb. Dark colors, like black, absorb more light and therefore heat up more than lighter colors, which reflect more light. This is why dark-colored clothing can feel warmer in the sun compared to lighter-colored clothing.
