Why is a road hotter to walk across than the other surfaces?

• The road reflects the most light back to your feet.

• Because it is black, the road aborbs the most light and the absorbed light turns into heat energy.

• The road gets hot because of the exhaust from cars.

• The road isn't hotter than other surfaces, they are all the same because they get the same amount of light.
