Absorbption of Heat
Why do red objects absorb less heat than blue objects if the blue being reflected means that less energy is being absorbed than the red?
Re: Absorbption of Heat
It seems like the absorption of heat depends mostly on how dark or light a color is and not on the color itself. I would guess that red usually absorbs less heat because its usually lighter, but a dark red would heat up quicker than a light blue.
