Team Space Donuts

Would heat transfer be affected with
little or no gravity?

Experiment # 1:  Heat Radiation

We are researching how radiation will work in Space.  We know on Earth if person 1 is wearing a black shirt and person 2 is wearing a white shirt and they walk outside in the sun, person 1 is going to get hotter because darker shirts absorbs all wavelengths of light and lighter shirts reflects all wavelengths of light. But we don’t know if that will do the same thing in Space because up there, there is LITTLE to NO GRAVITY.

Conclusion

We noticed in the ground data, the black color was about 2 to 2.5 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 a little warmer than the white.
