A student puts a piece of black paper and a piece of white paper in the same sunny spot. After 30 minutes, the student observes that the black paper feels warmer than the white paper. What is the best explanation for this observation?
The best explanation for this observation is that black objects absorb more light and heat than white objects. The black paper absorbs more sunlight and converts it into heat energy, causing it to feel warmer to the touch compared to the white paper, which reflects more light and heat away.
