Answer 1

In this lab, you examined factors that influence the absorption of energy from the Sun. You investigated how the color (and material) of a surface and the angle of insolation (angle of the Sun’s rays) affect the absorption of heat. Finally, you looked at the result of temperature differences on Earth’s surface — unequal heating that drives convection (air movement/wind).
