Recorded sources
7 sources for · 0 against

Counts group repeated records of the same source within each side. They do not measure evidence strength or source independence.

Is it true that black surfaces absorb more heat than white surfaces?

Yes. One 1842 text states outright that black surfaces absorb more heat than white surfaces, and several other sources describe black surfaces absorbing radiation and heating more than white or reflective ones in specific settings such as cars and building materials.
