Because the color black has no reflective properties, so the heat is absorbed. Note, however, that this applies to thermal absorption of heat from the sun.

What is the difference between the way black and white surfaces affect light?
White surfaces reflect light and heat. Black surfaces do not reflect light and they absorb heat.White surfaces reflect light and heat.

Does black color clothing absorb heat?
yes. it does.
Does black or white deflect heat more?
White and light colors reflect heat. Black & dark colors absorb heat.
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
Do white clothes absorb less heat than black objects?
Yes absolutely that's why you wear black in the winter and white in summer
Why does black paper absorb light faster than white paper?
This is because back aborbs heat where as white reflects heat
Does wax paper absorb heat?
Wax paper does not absorb heat. Wax paper is coated with paraffin, which does not allow heat to be absorbed. This allows wax paper to be used when cooking.
What color paper will ice melt fastest on in the sun?
Black coloured paper will absorb the sun's heat quicker than lighter colours.
Does paper absorb heat?
Depending on the source of the heat energy: -A darker piece of paper would absorb more energy from light sources, then a white piece of paper. This is due to the fact that the white piece of paper would reflect most of the light energy, whereas the dark paper would absorb that energy. This light energy can then be converted into heat energy, leading the dark paper to have more heat energy then the white paper -Heat from a source such as hot water being poured on the paper, would not lead to any color related heat difference
Do black objects absorb heat?
They absorb light which is converted into heat energy
Do white objects absorb less heat than black?
white objects reflect heat while black objects absorb it

What color is used to absorb heat?
Black.
Does black absorb heat?
Yes it absorbs
Does black absorb heat as fast as white?
Black absorbs heat faster than white.
Do colors absorb 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.
Does asphalt absorb heat?
Yes, because black is the color that makes things more combustible or absorb heat faster
