Because black is defined as the absorbtion of all colours (wavelengths.) The different frequencies which are different colours have an associated energy level to them. None are reflected when they hit a black surface and so that surface absorbed the energy.
To contrast this, white is the opposite. It reflects wavelengths and so it doesn't absorb a lot of energy.

∙ 13y agoObjects appear to be a particular colour because they reflect that particular light wave colour.
e.g- A red apple reflects red wave lengths. Which gives it it's red colour. But it absorbs all other coloured wave lengths and converts them into heat energy.
Black objects reflect no colours- which is why they are black.
because they do not reflect any, they absorb everything- meaning they have more energy to convert into heat than other colours.

Why wearing black hotter than wearing white?
you don't "think" you feel hotter. you DO feel hotter. your black shirt absorbs all colors of light from the sun transferring that radiant energy into heat energy. your white shirt instead reflects this light energy.
What is the composition of a candle?
Most candles are made from a petroleum derivative known as paraffin. However, candles can also be made from beeswax.
Do light candles burn faster than dark color candles?
In theory, dark candles should burn faster, as dark light absorbs more heat than light colours, as light colours reflect more (which is why you can distinguish between dark and light colours). If the candles are made from identical wax, the dark colour should burn faster, as it would get hotter. However if it's different coloured wax it's most likely that the different wax has different properties which could change the difference in time.
A sign that a chemical reaction is taking place is release of energy in the form of?
Most common chemical reactions are exothermic. This means that when the reaction occurs, they release heat. Some reactions are endothermic, which means they absorb heat.
Why does sponge absorbs the most water?

The Color That Absorbs The Most Heat.?
Black objects absorb the most heat
What colours absorb most heat?
Black absorbs the most heat. There are special coatings that have been engineered to absorb as much energy as possible 8or economic). Most of these are very dark, blue or black.

What is a better heat absorber black or silver?
it is obvious that black will absorb more heat as silver will reflect back most of the heat falling on it
Why the color black is said to be able to absorb the most light and produce the most heat?
........
Which color shirt is more absorb heat?
A Black Shirt absorbs more heat.
Which candle absorbs the most heat?
Black does because the darker the color is your using, the more and more it will absorb heat
Why black color absorb most heat energy?
Because black has almost no ability to reflect heat. White reflects heat very well, black hardly at all, so the heat builds up in black.
Does green absorb heat?
Yes. All colors absorb heat. The darker they are the more they absorb. White almost nothing as it is the absence of all colors and the most is black, because it is the presence of all colors.
What color of cloth would absorb the most heat?
The most darkest coloured clothes absorb heat. This is because they are conductors, which is a material that lest heat pass through it easily. For example, black is a main conductor of heat. Never wear black, navy, eggplant, or dark red clothes on a hot day.
The color black is said to be able to absorb the most light and produce the most heat why is this?
the reason is all light colors for example white, yellow don't absorb light they just reflect it, but dark colors absorb it the light and black being the darkest color absorbs the must heat and light.
If red blue black orange are put out in the sun which one would absorb the most heat?
Black because black absorbs the most sun.GREAT TIP FOR SUMMER FASHIONS!
