Why do darker colors absorb more heat and light? Dark colors, such as black, absorb more heat and light because they absorb a wider range of wavelengths of light. This means that they are able to capture more energy from the sun's rays and convert it into heat. How does the color of...
have darker eggs. We show evidence that darker eggs heat more rapidly than lighter ones when exposed to solar radiation. This evidence suggests that egg pigmentation could play an important role in thermoregulation in cold climates, while a range of competing selective pressures further influence eggs...
