to reduce the effects of heat from the sun
A Stevenson screen is painted white to reflect sunlight and minimize heat absorption. This helps maintain a stable internal temperature, ensuring that the temperature readings of the instruments inside are not influenced by external heat sources. The white color also enhances visibility, making the screen easily identifiable in various environments.
yes objects painted black dry faster than those painted white because the black absorbs more heat than the white

A Stevenson screen is painted white to reflect sunlight and minimize heat absorption, ensuring that the temperature readings inside the screen are accurate and not influenced by external heat sources. The white color also helps maintain a consistent internal environment by reducing the impact of solar radiation, allowing for reliable measurements of temperature and humidity. This design is crucial for meteorological observations, as it protects sensitive instruments from direct sunlight and other environmental factors.

Some trees are painted white to protect their bark from sun damage and to deter pests and diseases.
Most houses in the desert are painted white as white reflects the heat and does not allow for the walls to absorb it. On the other hand a black house would absorb all heat and the house would be a lot hotter then if it was painted white.
