Ok so far, what do you know about the color black and how it interacts with light

Answer 3

the sun absorbs the black fur on the cat more

Answer 4

it's the other way around, it's not the sun absorbing the fur, it's the fur absorbing the sunlight

Answer 5

so C?

Answer 6

Oh wow, yeah

Answer 7

But lemme explain why

Answer 8

ok

Answer 9

The light that you see is what is being reflected and the light that you don't see is what is being absorbed. In this case, you don't see any light, so all wavelengths are being absorbed. So if you shine sunlight on a cat, the light won't reflect, cause it's being absorbed
