Explanation:

a light colored building stays warm in winter by being a poor emitter literally means that light coloured building does not spread the heat or radiation to the surroundings. Due to this the heat in the building stays and makes it warm.

Answer:

Explanation:

When a color (colored fabric) absorbs light, it turns the light into thermal energy (heat). The more light a color absorbs, the more thermal energy it produces. Black fabric absorbs all colors of light and is therefore warmer than white fabric which reflects all colors.Heat energy obeys the same laws of conservation as light energy. If a certain substance reflects most light wavelengths, most heat energy will be reflected as well. Therefore, due to the nature of visual light, colors that reflect most wavelengths of light tend to be cooler than those that only reflect a few. Understanding how this principle applies to different colors can allow a person to stay warmer or cooler simply by wearing different colored clothes.
