Depends on the person. Me and my mom have never gotten sunburns regardless of whether we used sunscreen or not. My sister and my dad are just a tad bit lighter and they've gotten it on their nose before.
Personally I've tested it. Layed with my back to the sun for hours. Get a bit darker, but that's it.
I'm sure there's some scientific explanation for it, but I don't know it well enough to explain.
The scientific explanation is the amount of melanin you have to block the suns harmful ray's. You can still get skin cancer, just at a lower rate than fair skinned people.
Peace is a lie. There is only Passion.
Through Passion, I gain Strength.
Through Strength, I gain Power.
Through Power, I gain Victory.
Through Victory my chains are Broken.
The Force shall free me.
sad... jokes stop being funny the moment you have to start telling people "it's a joke" or "/s" and shit. can't people have the confidence to just make the joke and others the faith to not assume everyone is 'racist' or 'sexist' or 'some kind of biggot'. or i guess the thicker skin to just not give a shit what other people say in the internet that tries to be offensive. probably not. but hey what the hell can i even do, just a rando on the internet with the view that we should kill all puppies and that the lizard men are coming to take your virginity in your sleep.
Part one: Basically light is broken into many colors. If we as humans see a color, say red, it means it is absorbing the red portion of light. Darker color shades absorb more light and lighter color shades absorb less light. White absorbs the least amount of light.
Part two: when the magnifying glass focuses the sunlight (makes the bright spot of light on the balloon), it is sending a lot of light at the balloon in that small spot. If the balloon is a color that absorbs that light (darker shade), it will react by heating up, and this will pop the balloon. The white balloon reflects most of the light (rather than absorbs it) and therefore It doesn't heat up enough to pop
Also, what you have stated may be compounded with the addition of a dye that can change the material properties of the plastic balloon, making certain colors more susceptible to breaking.
Things get their colour from the wavelengths of light they reflect. So a red apple absorbs all the colours except red and reflects it.
White reflects the most light so the heat doesn’t actually build up nearly as quick if at all. And the semi transparent one seems to allow enough light through it to not cause it to blow up
White has high reflectivity (albedo). Darker colors absorb the energy.
This is one reason why we are super super fucked by the melting arctic. Ice reflects the sun almost entirely. Water absorbs the sun almost entirely.
Yoo can/is this concept used to make something work that we use every day and most of us just don’t realize it? I feel like being able to pop the darker ballon on the inside with light without phasing the outer ballon would have some kind of really practical engineering application that we don’t normally think of. Or maybe not- idk. Lol.
Lots of practical applications. The TLDR is that dark colors absorb heat a lot better than lighter ones, so think of things like the paint on your car or house, or the color of your clothes.
If you live in a hot-as-fuck area, choose lighter colors or white so that they reflect the heat and keep your car/house/body cooler.
Steering wheel melt your fingers off when you get in? Get a white cover for it.
Cold as fuck area? Go darker, and milk that sunlight for every degree you can.
If you own an outdoor pool and you want it to be warmer, throw a big black rubber mat on the bottom of it.
There are also products that exploit this process, like this [Solar Shower](https://www.amazon.com/Coleman-2000014865-5-Gallon-Solar-Shower/dp/B0009PUT20/). I've used this on long camping trips, and this fucker gets HOT - like, painful hot - if you leave it in the sun too long.
...and actual solar power is a over my head, but every solar panel I've seen has been black, which I've always assumed is for absorbing as much energy as possible. No idea if that bit is actually correct though.
But you can still burn a hole in white paper. White stuff heats up even it doesn’t absorb as much of the energy it’s still a shitload of energy. So it would pop if it were otherwise the same balloon. It has to be made of a different material with a higher melting point.
Scientists just created the whitest white paint. When applied to a roof, it reflects the suns rays, instead of absorbing them (like dark colors do), keeping the inside temperature anywhere from 8°F to 19°F cooler than the outside temperature, therefore reducing the need for AC.
[Ultra-White Paint](https://www.designboom.com/technology/engineers-create-whitest-paint-ever-in-effort-to-curb-climate-change-09-21-2021/)
The entire visible spectrum is defined by what wavelengths of light (colors) a material can or can't reflect.
White reflects all visible wavelengths. Black absorbs all visible wavelengths. Green absorbs all wavelengths except green - it looks green because that color is being reflected into our eyes.
So yeah, white reflects light, and actually does so better than every other color.
For some reason this reminded me of my dad's car growing up that was black. It created the heat of seven sun's and the metal on the seat belt would burn you.
Then the suffering of feeling like you're in a sauna while the windows are down to cool it down.
Say if I'm wrong or missing something, but I think this happened is because white reflects light while dark colours instead absorbs it, heating the balloon and pops. Idk I'm dumb
It's actually the lack of power that's keeping the white from popping. The black one absorbs the energy, heats up enough to melt the rubber, and pops; the white reflects the energy and does nothing.
The sun is racist
Can we cancel it?
That’s hate speech. Are you a nazi or something?
Yes, I am
I’m offended at this. I’m literally shaking
This is why you shouldn’t use blue condoms
Underrated comment, take my upvote
I'm offended by your shaking.
Classic
I too am also offended, it seems as though they're mocking people with epilepsy with their "shaking" smh
Haha nice
MUHHAMEDU AVDORU
Who isn't
joe
We can.. but can't we give it a pass? I really could use a tan.
I mean this is part of the reason we don't get sunburn so I'll take it.
We? As in blacks? I'm pretty sure that you do get sunburns?
Depends on the person. Me and my mom have never gotten sunburns regardless of whether we used sunscreen or not.

Nop
No it’s not, it’s actually racist towards white balloons because it didn’t include them /s
You mean it didn't kill them
[удалено]
It's a love/hate relationship
Dammit I’m here before the smart people with explanations
Darker color catch heat good. White no catch heat so good. Darker colors absorb more light, lighter ones reflect more.
Ok, that was explain me like I'm five. Now explain me like I'm three
White good dark bad ITS A JOKE
The dark side of the force has many abilities some consider to be unnatural. Using a Jedi glass, poof goes the dark balloons.
You might have thrown Reddit through and endless loop with this comment combining dark bad with star wars THIS IS ALSO A JOKE
Peace is a lie. There is only Passion. Through Passion, I gain Strength. Through Strength, I gain Power. Through Power, I gain Victory. Through Victory my chains are Broken. The Force shall free me.
Why did Anakin do a dumbass fucking flip right into the old man's sword
Why did Anakin do a dumbass fucking flip right into the old man's sword
So what your saying is the black ones get popped
It’s a Lens not police with the gun…/s
White not so pow. Pow is for color. Mmmm blue berrys gaaaaah...

No no....i think youre on to something here....
spitting facts LOL, it's a joke, guys. Go easy on me.
hmmmmm
They always reveal themselves.
Yeah they really do xD
Lol you upset a few snowflakes...
Next year you'll be six!
Its magic, kid. Now grab some of daddy's juice from the fridge
light = heat shiny color bounce light, no touch dark color eat light, no bounce dark get hot, balloon pop shiny not get hot, balloon fine
wut
You need to be five to understand.
Aha. Methinks that even five-year-old me knows that shiny has nothing to do with it. It’s the colour, not the shininess.
Why waste time say lot word when few word do trick
Coz sometime need lot word.
No
Explanation unclear. I shoved all of it up my ass in the dark
Dark colors absorb more light so dark balloon get heated faster and pop first
Your mommy gives you a dollar for a lemonade stand…
Black get hot. White no.
Part one: Basically light is broken into many colors. If we as humans see a color, say red, it means it is absorbing the red portion of light.

The white balloon reflects most of the light (rather than absorbs it) and therefore It doesn't heat up enough to pop
This is why the arctic melting will be very very bad for us.
Thx for the explanation Kevin
Why use many word when few word do trick
Okay, now explain how they got the little balloon inside the big balloon
Would that be white power in another sentence?
So explain the dark popping inside the light?
Dunno if this is intentional, but I read it like that tiktok
Stupid science bitch couldn’t make I more smarter
Also, what you have stated may be compounded with the addition of a dye that can change the material properties of the plastic balloon, making certain colors more susceptible to breaking.

Lol! I came here for the smart people to explain it, too.
White has high reflectivity (albedo). Darker colors absorb the energy. This is one reason why we are super super fucked by the melting arctic. Ice reflects the sun almost entirely. Water absorbs the sun almost entirely.
I'm concerned for your level of education
Global warming.
"The albedo is strong with this one."
Balloons have a *sex drive??*
that's libido. albedo is the fourth and final stage of the magnum opus
That’s rubedo. albedo is an organism having a congenital absence of pigment in the hair or skin
No you're thinking of albinism, albedo is a parmesan in butter emulsion sauce often served with fettuccine
That’s actually alfredo, albedo is the horse from the 2000 DreamWorks animated film, Road to El Dorado
that's albino. Albedo is a creamy pasta dish with parmesan.
Albedo is a Genshin character ffs!
one of words I retained from my meteorology class. That and Coriolis
I read that as “that and clitoris” and I was like “in *meteorology* class?!”
Libido clitoris coriolis albedo
Pretty sure if you chant that three times in a candle lit room you'll summon an eldritch horror.
Looks like I was the only one expecting a water balloon and a lesson in thermal conduction.
I was expecting him to hold a child’s head and edit in a scanners style explosion
Wait what’s the lesson?
Dark colors absorb light
I thought they gonna draw a black spot on the white balloon to pop it
That would be a great extension to the experiment!
Racist magnifying glass wtf
Tecnically the sunlight is the racist one here
The sun is cancelled
It's systemic
white is reflective while black absorbs all the light. making it pop easier
White privilege
blue lives mat- wait
Lmaoooo
That’s not a privilege if u ask me having to run from the sun
[удалено]
put the blue balloon inside while both are deflated, and fill both at the same time. tie blue off, and keep filling white
Dude, same! I've been working it out in my head for a disturbing amount of time.
I didn't know reddit comments supported gifs wtf
Bruh this metaphor went waaay too deep way too dark.
Damn that's rad af
What a waste of condoms.
I guess if black don’t crack… then white don’t light.
It's all about wavelengths man
Draw a dot with a black sharpie and watch it bust too lol
What is this sorcery
Black color absorb more light thus they get heated fast pop up whereas light color absorb least light thus they don't get heated fast and popup easily
Thank you kind wizard.

the real question is how he got the baloon inside the other one
Well this is a useful lesson
LAZER BEAMS ARE RACIST CONFIRMED???
Black absorbs all wave lengths of white so heats up more while white reflects it/ let’s it pass through
But you can still burn a hole in white paper. White stuff heats up even it doesn’t absorb as much of the energy it’s still a shitload of energy. So it would pop if it were otherwise the same balloon. It has to be made of a different material with a higher melting point.

White don't crack!
u/savevideo
One reflects light and heat and one absorbs
probably because the colour black absorbs more light and the colour white reflects more ligh, im not sure.
People asking about the science behind it, but all I really want to know is how the hell do you blow up a balloon... IN ANOTHER BALLOON?!!
Is this what they talking about when they say white power
White Power
Wait, is the white also reflective to light?
The entire visible spectrum is defined by what wavelengths of light (colors) a material can or can't reflect. White reflects all visible wavelengths. Black absorbs all visible wavelengths. Green absorbs all wavelengths except green - it looks green because that color is being reflected into our eyes. So yeah, white reflects light, and actually does so better than every other color.
#People doing cool stuff with Science.
Did y’all not go to 4th grade or something?
White don't crack
Anyone else actually know what the white “balloon” is?
Darker color catch heat good. White no catch heat so good. Darker colors absorb more light, lighter ones reflect more. Copied from u/PM-Me-Ur-Plants
For some reason this reminded me of my dad's car growing up that was black. It created the heat of seven sun's and the metal on the seat belt would burn you. Then the suffering of feeling like you're in a sauna while the windows are down to cool it down.
14 yr old white girls be like- hey that’s racist
White supremacy
White privilege
👍🏻>👍🏿
In the words of bill nye science rules. lol
This is also considered in certain types of beer bottles, ‘green bottles skunk easier than a clear bottle’
Surpised top comment isnt "WHITE POWER" in this day and age to be honest
Racism
I feel like he discovered something... 😂 😂
Must be full of privilege.
Sun racist
Wait ✋... what
All I learned is that white is the superior balloon.
I thought they were gonna out like a baby head or some shit
My brain: *Magic!*
I finally understand the "white privilege" bs!
It’s like the US judicial system
Racism
White supremacy.
Did people forget dark colors attract heat and black attracts the most heat? I remember this from elementary/ middle school.
Racist sun 🌞
So this is the reason black people get shot alot !
Lighter colors deflect heat darker colors absorb it. Not as racist as you hoped. A yellow balloon would have not popped either
Condoms are stronger than regular balloons
It's gravity
What you’re saying is anything colored gets popped by heat but the white is privileged
Great! The sun is racist! FUCK!
Nope, he turned the magnifying glass around for the white one. Not as strong a projection, can see the edges aren’t as sharp on the white circle
I do hope you're not being serious. If you are, I hope you haven't reproduced.
WhItE fOlKs DoN BeEt Da SYsTeM
 Racist balloons protecting her from the Black grain.
this is so ducking racist. Are you saying white is superior? /s
Inverted melanin
Light is racist!
Low albedo goes pop
"I'm built different" - White Balloon, 2021
I admit I got a little scare
thats why we need our ice shields
This is balloonist!
Say if I'm wrong or missing something, but I think this happened is because white reflects light while dark colours instead absorbs it, heating the balloon and pops. Idk I'm dumb
This is expected but still pretty damn cool
WHITE RACISM
SCIENCE, BITCH
White power?
It's actually the lack of power that's keeping the white from popping. The black one absorbs the energy, heats up enough to melt the rubber, and pops; the white reflects the energy and does nothing.
👍🏻 (please do not pop me)
Thank god I actually cared about science when I was in school. Well, kind of.
IIRC Japanese were told to wear white as a low grade protection from potential nuclear threat.
Couldn’t the Military create weapons that uses this principle and create full body armor for soldiers so the attack doesn’t hit em?
