Benjamin Franklin was a very famous American statesman. He was also the first man to discover electricity. Franklin liked to study new things. One day he heard from a friend that things in black hold heat better than things in white. Franklin wanted to find out whether this was true or not.
There was snow on the ground at the time. So he put two large pieces of cloth on the snow. One piece of cloth was black in colour and the other was white. Then he waited until the sun began to rise. After several hours he looked under the pieces of cloth and saw that the snow under the black cloth melted much faster than the snow under the white one. This proved to him that the black cloth held heat better than the white one.
Soon after this, people began to wear white hats and white clothes during summer because they hold less heat and make people feel cooler.
