Why does a black t shirt in the sun heat up more than a white t shirt in the sun?

• The white t shirt absorbs all of the colors of light waves. The black t shirt reflects all of the colors of light.

• The white t shirt reflects all of the colors of light waves. The black t shirt absorbs all of the colors of light.

• Black shirts are better conductors of heat.

• White shirts are better insulators of heat.

In convection, heat moves in this shape.
