An asphalt surface absorbs **more** solar energy than a cement surface. This difference is chiefly due to differences in **color and thermal properties**.
Asphalt typically has a darker color than cement, which means it absorbs more sunlight, leading to higher temperatures. Additionally, asphalt has higher thermal conductivity and heat retention properties compared to cement, contributing to its ability to absorb and retain solar energy.
