Question

Why does black color is more heated than white?

Answer 1

Black color appears more heated than white because it absorbs more light and converts it into heat. When light falls on an object, it can either be absorbed, transmitted or reflected. White objects reflect most of the light that falls on them, while black objects absorb most of the light. This absorption of light by black objects leads to the conversion of light energy into heat energy, making black objects feel warmer. In contrast, white objects reflect most of the light, including the light on the infrared spectrum, which carries heat. Consequently, white objects reflect more heat and remain cooler than black objects.
