Question

Which statements about the warming effects of sunlight are true? On a sunny day, a black leather car seat would be hotter than a tan cloth seat. The Sun's rays interact the same way with all materials, including cotton, foil, and wood. On a hot summer day, a plastic slide would be hotter than metal monkey bars. To reduce heat in a parked car on a sunny day, foil shields can be placed against its windshield. Foil has a reflective surface, so sunlight bounces off instead of being absorbed.
