If you take objects that are identical in every way except one is black and the other white and place them in the sun, what measurable differences could you expect, if any?

The one that is black would probably absorb more heat and relfect less light, and the white one would absorb less heat and reflect more light.

Ha!! I've got it! (I had to read Wide Awake Phynix's answer 1st, though.) Since the black object would absorb more heat than the white object, the black one would expand in the heat and would, given enough heat and time, become ever-so-slightly larger than the white one, causing an undetermined measurable difference ('undetermined' since you haven't provided: the exact size of the objects, the temperature of the sun's heat, the amount of time the objects would be in the sun, the temperature of either the indoor or outdoor location of the objects and the wind velocity (if its outside)). (Oh, and PLEASE don't provide me with any of that information!! lol!) :) :) ...
