To what extent are Black Bodies relevant in our everyday lives? Is this something that can only occur through manipulation or naturally?

Black body radiation is an object that absorbs ALL radiation at all wavelengths. To the extent of my knowledge, it has no real equivalent in everyday life, and the closest example would be something like a black hole. I do not believe that we need to know about black body radiation for this course.

Black body radiation is not at all prevalent in our daily lives. Although it does exist in black holes to the extent of my knowledge there is no black body radiation present on Earth.
