Within an hour, they were both over 100\u00b0\u00a0F. The darker car did get a little bit hotter, but only by a few degrees. And that was only after an hour, so think about how hot these cars would get for an even longer period of time.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
A light-colored interior is going to be slightly cooler, but when you\u2019re talking over 100\u00b0 F inside, it\u2019s really hot either way. Parents and pet owners should be aware that a car can heat up to dangerous levels even when it isn\u2019t the middle of summer.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Analysis:<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\nI found this article to be very interesting because I thought a dark interior would raise the temperature inside a vehicle. Knowing that the interior’s color doesn’t affect how safe groceries will be in a car, I wonder if certain materials hold heat differently. I was curious about both the color and material’s effect on the safety of groceries, being that this information could change what colors\/materials I consider using in my solution.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
