Academic Physics NCERT Class 7

1) During the Summer Akshit should use a white fabric tent and during winter he should use black.

2) We know that black color absorbs light and radiates heat. So a black tent feels hotter.

3) On the other hand white color reflects light and so only a little amount of heat is absorbed by it. So relative to the black tent, the white tent feels colder.

4) So the white tent is suitable for Summer and a Black tent is suitable for winter
