Question

Do black people get hotter in the sun than white people?

Answer 1

dark atracts heat, that's why when you wear black T-shirt or dark you get hot much faster then with lighter color shirst. You can drink lot of water to lower overheting.

Answer 2

yes because more sun energy is absorbed rather then reflected compared to a white person. However, a person with darker skin will cool off faster in the shade and radiate more heat.

Answer 3

melanin causes the darkness and dark color absorbs more heat(black is the state of no light reflecting-all visible frequencies absorbed; and white is all frequencies of light reflected). but hotness is a measurement of temperature. so it doesn't always mean that you'll get hotter just because you have melanin. in fact, systems exchange heat to reach the same temperature, this is a law of entropy, so if they are in the same environment, a light person will be as hot as a dark one(same temperature). only, the darker person will get hot faster(melanin as good conductor of heat), i guess.
