What color reflects light (meaning the object stays cooler)?
White
Black
Orange
Pink

Why does lake water feel warmer on a sunny day rather than a cloudy day?
On a cloudy day, the lake is able to absorb more thermal energy from the sun. If the sun is not out and is behind clouds, the lake is able to absorb a lot of thermal energy.
When it is sunny, you are hot so the water is more refreshing.
On a sunny day, the lake is able to absorb more thermal energy from the sun. If the sun is not out and is behind clouds, the lake will not be able to absorb as much thermal energy.
