At a camp site there are tents of two shades β one made with black fabric and the other with white fabric. Which one will you prefer for resting on a hot summer afternoon? Give reason for your choice. Would you like to prefer the same tent during winter?
The white colour is a bad absorber and a good reflector of heat. So the tent made up of white fabric will absorb less heat and will be preferred in a hot summer afternoon.
No, in winter the tent made up of black fabric will be preferred as black colour will absorb more heat and reflect less heat.
