Would heat transfer be affected with
little or no gravity?
Experiment # 1: Heat Radiation
We are researching about black and white colors in the sun. For example, when someone wears a black shirt, the shirt absorbs the heat from the sun since the sun is more likely to be attracted to darker shades of color. When someone wears a white shirt it does not absorb the heat because it reflects all wavelengths of light. So this shows that the sun is not attracted to light shades of color which means people who wear lighter colors are less likely to be warmer in the sun than people who wear darker colors.
What we want to know is how would the color temperature be affected in Space. Since Space has little to no gravity it's not the same as how life is on Earth. We want to find out how would the temperature be based on the color. Would a black color still collect more heat in Space? Would a white color still reflect off wavelengths of light in Space?

Data
Conclusion
We noticed in the ground data, the black color was about 2 degrees warmer than the white color.
In the flight data, the black color was about 3 degrees warmer than the white color. This suggests in Space, the black color gets warmer than the white.
