Metal surfaces on spacecraft in bright sunlight develop a net electric charge.

do they develop a negative or a positive charge?

Positive.

Explanation:

As a consequence of the photoelectric effect, electrons that will get hit by sufficiently energetic photons will abandon the metal surfaces exposed to bright sunlight. This decreases the negative charge of the surface, thus causing it to develop a positive net charge.

it may be wrong but i think its a
