A higher albedo means there will be what?
A higher albedo means that a higher percentage of incoming light is reflected.
The fraction of incident light that a body reflects is known as its?
" albedo "
Can one object be hotter be hotter than another if they have the same temperature?
No. Hotter means higher temperature.No. Hotter means higher temperature.No. Hotter means higher temperature.No. Hotter means higher temperature.
Does steep means going higher or lower?
steep means you are going higher
Does a mirror have a low albedo?
no. a mirror has a high abedo (perhaps the highest)
A higher albedo means there will be what?
A higher albedo means that a higher percentage of incoming light is reflected.
What does A higher albedo mean?
A higher albedo means that more of the incident radiation is reflected, and less of it is absorbed.
What has the lowest albedo?
Albedo means reflectivity. The higher the albedo, the more light (and heat) is being reflected. Generally, the darker the color, the lower the albedo : most of the energy is absorbed. Snow has a fairly high albedo, as do clouds. Black tar roofs have a very low albedo.
Does farmland have higher albedo than ice?
Few things have higher albedo than ice - farmland is lower, but still higher than the forest which it probably replaced.
Which cause more light reflection albedo 2 or albedo 3?
Albedo is a measure of reflectivity; it is a measure of the percentage of light reflected from a surface. A perfect mirror would have an albedo of 1, while white snow has an albedo of about 0.9. Charcoal has an albedo of about 0.04.An albedo higher than 1 is impossible.
Which has a higher albedo sea ice or soil?
naturally sea ice would have the advantage of having a greater albedo
How does snow affect the earth's albedo?
Albedo means how reflective the earth is. Snow increases the earth's albedo by reflecting more of the sun's radiation.
Would A higher albedo result in an overall cooler climate?
A higher albedo would mean that more energy would be returned to space. This would mean a cooler climate.
What is 0.3 Albedo as related to Sun absorption?
An albedo of 0.3 means that 30% (a fraction of 0.3) of the incoming light gets reflected.
What is the percentage of solar radiation reflected from a surface?
This is called the "albedo." It is the ratio of reflected light compared to incident light, and depends on the surface material and its condition (e.g. snow, grassland).
Why does the South Pole have a higher albedo than the North Pole?
There is more ice on Antarctica to reflect the sun's rays back into space -- albedo, than there is in the Arctic Ocean.
What is something that has low albedo?
An object that has a high albedo is one that is highly reflective, but a poor absorber. An object that has a low albedo is one that does not reflect well, therefore, is a good absorber. This means that a black object has low albedo.
