A rough, dark, and matte surface texture tends to absorb heat well as it has a larger surface area for sunlight to interact with and is able to convert more of the sunlight into heat. Smooth and light-colored surfaces typically reflect more sunlight and absorb less heat.

Does sidewalk in sun or foil in sun absorb more heat Why?

The sidewalk will usually be less reflective than shiny metal foil, and will absorb more of the solar energy from the Sun. Additionally, the specific heat of aluminum is much lower and it will cool to the air faster than the sidewalk will.


Will aluminum heat up in the sun?

Yes, aluminum will heat up in the sun as it absorbs and retains heat well. Its thermal conductivity allows it to quickly raise in temperature when exposed to sunlight.
