black vs white - no sun
black vs white - no sun
(OP)
My understanding is that assuming the paint and material underneith have similar properties...
1- a surface that is painted black and exposed to the sun will behave differently than the one that is painted white. The black one will absorb much more heat.
2- a surface that is painted black and is indoors and exposed to a heat source other than the sun - will behave in a similar manner as the white one
is this correct?
