Message:

we are fighting about who is right here at the fire station. we all agree 
that if you have two of the same object's. ie.a plate and you put them in 
the sun the black one will be hotter. But we do not agree on whet happens 
to the same object in the dark. some say it will be hotter some say since 
there is no light to absorb they will be the same tempature.please help us 
solve this dispute or tell me where i can.
