Black color absorbs sunlight rather than reflecting it. When an object appears black, it means that it absorbs most or all of the visible light that falls upon it. Light is made up of different colors, and when it hits a surface, it can be absorbed, transmitted, or reflected.
When light falls on an object that is black, the pigments or dyes present in the object absorb most of the visible light spectrum, including all the colors. The absorbed light energy is then converted into heat, which is why black objects often feel warmer when exposed to sunlight compared to lighter-colored objects.
In contrast, lighter-colored objects reflect a significant portion of the light that falls on them. For example, white objects reflect most of the visible light spectrum, giving them their characteristic bright appearance.
It's worth noting that the absorption or reflection of light is influenced by various factors, such as the material's properties, surface texture, and the specific wavelengths of light involved.
