Many clouds have albedo?
Yes, everything has albedo. Albedo refers to the reflectivity of any object or substance. White clouds have a high albedo - they reflect a lot of light. Dark clouds have a lower albedo; they don't reflect as much.
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).
What is a planet's reflectivity called?
A planet's reflectivity is called it albedo.
How does albedo affects the behavior of solar radiation?
Albedo is the proportion of light that an object reflects.
What is meant by 'albedo' of a planet?
Albedo is the fraction of sunlight that hits a planet that is reflected back out into space. A bright white planet that's full of ice would have a high albedo.
How does changing a planet's albedo change a planet's temperature?
If you increase the albedo, more solar radiation will be reflected back into space and so the temperature will be lowered.
Are there any factors other than albedo that might affect temperature differences between the two setting?
Insufficient data.
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.
What happens to temperature if albedo is increased?
A decrease in radiative equilibrium temperature
Do aerosols affect the atmosphere?
They can. They produce an increased albedo affect and cause cooling.
How does a low albedo affect the earth?
A lower albedo would mean that the Earth would absorb more solar energy and warm up more.
Does moisture greatly affect the albedo of surfaces or objects?
Ofcourse it does u idiot
The area around the equator is usually hot What happens to the temperature at the poles?
the temperature at the poles are cold due to albedo which is that light substances reflect heat back into the atmosphere
The fraction of incident light that a body reflects is known as its?
" albedo "
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.
The surface reflectivity of a planet or moon is called?
Albedo. The albedo of the Earth is 0.367. When Vangelis released his album, Albedo 0.39, that was what the albedo of Earth was in 1976.
What is the albedo of Neptune?
The average overall albedo of Earth, itsplanetary albedo, is 30 to 35%, because of the covering by clouds, but varies widely locally across the surface, depending on the geological and environmental features.
