Question
why does a dark - colored t - shirt feel warmer in the sun than a light - colored one?
the light is absorbed by the shirt, which creates heat.
the light is transmitted through the shirt, which warms the skin.
the light passes through the shirt, which traps air.
the light reflects off the shirt, which cools it down.
Dark-colored objects absorb more incoming visible light energy from the sun, converting that light energy into thermal energy (heat), which makes the shirt and the area against the skin feel warmer. Light-colored objects reflect most light instead of absorbing it, so they do not generate as much heat.
