Question

Some people use paint to protect the outside of their houses. Why does a house painted a dark color get hotter than a house painted white?​

Answer 1

Answer:

Dark color absorb more photons and thus gets more hot

Explanation:

Dark color is dark b/c it absorbs different wavelengths of light (think about little photons of light vibrating slighting differently) .This means it absorbs a lot of photons which makes it warmer.

If a thing is white, that means it reflects all lights and absorbs none. Thus, since it does not absorb photons (little packets of energy which is light), the house does not get warm.
