Color
A dark colored object is better at
absorption and radiating heat than a
white colored object.
so when you are under the heat of the
Sun do not wear dark colored shirt, but
wear light colored to keep you cool.
Texture
A rough and non-shiny
object is better at
absorbing and releasing
heat than a smooth and
shiny object.
Temperature
An object that has a lower temperature than the environment will
absorb heat faster.
An object that has a higher temperature will release heat faster.
Surface Area
An object with a larger surface
area will absorb and release heat
faster than an object with a
smaller surface area.
