What color's in clothing absorb heat the most and why?

Question

It's for a project and I need a little help! Thanks

Answer 1

The color Black. It absorbs heat because its so dark.

For example, A black hole in the universe will absorb heat.

Answer 2

BLACK

Answer 3

black is the most. followed by the next darkest colors due to the common sense fact that dark colors absorb heat and lighter colors reflect it.

Answer 4

Black, in a prism light is bent and you can see its lengths. The longer the Shorter the hotter it is, black is the shoprtest, its so short you cant even see it

Answer 5

Well, green is just like any other color as far as heat is concerned. It's actually a LACK of color (lack of the ability to reflect light) which causes heat to be absorbed. "Black" is the qualifier we use for something that absorbs all radiations, but it's NOT, technically a color.

Physicists may talk about a "black-body" to denote a perfect absorber of radiation. The most extreme example of a blackbody would be an astronomical "black hole".

The laws of thermodynamics are such that a perfect absorber must still emit some radiation back, but whatever it emits is strictly a function of its own temperature and has nothing to do with the radiation it received (except that the incoming radiation helped heat the thing up). It was a major surprise in the early 1970's when people finally realized that those ordinary laws of thermodynamics apply to black holes as well. Indeed, black holes have a well-defined temperature and do emit something back (the so-called Bekenstein-Hawking radiation). All "black" things do...

Now, what you may have heard about green light (actually yellow-green light) is that it is, indeed, the "most visible light" in the sense that it's the kind of light to which the human retina reacts the most strongly (at least under what are called "photopic" conditions, which is a fancy way to say that the light is not TOO dim).

More precisely, the "most visible light" has a wavelength of about 555 nm (5550 ansgtroms). This "greenish" light corresponds to the frequency of exactly 540 THz which is used in the definition of modern photometric units, like the candela or the lumen (see first link below).

Answer 6

Black. . . Black is the color that absorbs all light waves of the color spectrum.  White absorbs no waves at all it reflects them.  The darker the color the more light absorbed so more heat is absorbed.

Answer 7

Black absorbs the most because the black color absorbs the sun rays and cause it to heaat up for example have you ever noticed that the tops on a roof are really hot during the summer?? well this is the same process that occurs with the clothes

Answer 8

Black-it absorbs colour. Black is not a colour.

Answer 9

black.... coz  it has less light  cells or something so it..... heats up quicker?

Answer 10

BLACK

black absorbs all light...

reflects no light...

creates greenhouse effect under your shirt...

Answer 11

black cause it relfects less

Answer 12

Black.  dark colors absorb more light (and thus energy, heat), well, because they reflect less.

Answer 13

Christina c is spot on. but for the likes of your school project i think the answer you're looking for is "black". this is due to the absorbtion of all colours/heat/wavelengths.

The way it basically works is... the way you see a colour is when light shines on an object, it absorbs a certain colour and reflects the rest away. so a green object absorbs the green wavelength and reflects every other colour spectrum. so therefore you only see green.

The reason black absorbs the most is because it absorbs every wavelength of light thus absorbing the most heat since every energy source provides some heat.

Answer 14

dark colors! mostly black!

Answer 15

well i dont really know  which one but lots of people say black ?

Answer 16

The color black absorbs the heat the fastest and the most. This is because black doesn't reflect off any white light, whereas, white would reflect off every light. That explains why no body usually wears black in the summer.  SELECT AS BEST ANS. I IN  EIGHTH GRADE!

Answer 17

what colors (no apostrophe)

dark colors absorb sunlight/heat and light colors reflect sunlight/heat

a black hole does not absorb heat

it is just so dense that anything with matter, including light, gets sucked into it and cannot escape
