A device on a building that absorbs radiant energy from the sun is what?

A device on a building that absorbs radiant energy from the sun is called a solar panel. Solar panels are designed to capture sunlight and convert it into usable electricity for powering various devices or buildings.


What is a device that absorbs the Suns radiant energy?

A solar panel is a device that absorbs the Sun's radiant energy and converts it into electricity through a photoelectric effect.


What happens to temperature of the house as the suns radiant energy touches it?

The temperature of the house increases as the sun's radiant energy touches it. This is because the house absorbs the energy from the sun, converting it into heat.


What colored container absorbs the most heat?

None. The color of the container does not change the liquid's heat absortion rate. What the color can do is speed up or slow down the heat transfer to the liquid inside. black or darker colors absorb more energy while white or lighter colors reflect more energy.


How does the color of shirt affect the amount of heat it absorbs?

It depends on how much light it absorbs, and what kinds. A black shirt absorbs more heat because it is not reflecting any light. a white shirt on the other hand reflects most of the light that hits it. When light is absorbed into something like a shirt, that light energy is transformed into mostly heat energy. So light is either absorbed and turned into heat, or reflected into your eyes. Different colors can have an effect depending on the kinds of light in a light source. You wont notice a huge difference in the sun though.

Which color would become hotter in the sun red or green?

In theory the color that absorbs most energy. Labeling a color "hue" 'red' or 'green' does not give enough information... The "darker" of the two colors will heat up fastest- but in practice there are a lot of factors to take into account.


Why is Oscillatoria green?

Oscillatoria is green because it contains the pigment chlorophyll, which is responsible for the green color in most plants and algae. Chlorophyll absorbs sunlight to facilitate the process of photosynthesis, where energy from the sun is converted into chemical energy for the organism to use.

What does the ocean absorb the most from sun?

The ocean absorbs the most visible light from the sun, particularly in the blue and green wavelengths. This absorption is essential for photosynthetic organisms, such as phytoplankton, which rely on this light to produce energy. Additionally, the ocean absorbs a significant amount of solar energy, influencing global climate and weather patterns.


The Earth's surface absorbs more radiant energy from the sun than the atmosphere?

Yes, the Earth's surface absorbs about 50% of the Sun's incoming solar radiation, while the atmosphere absorbs about 20%. The absorbed energy is then re-emitted by the Earth's surface as infrared radiation.
