How do bright surface on earth affect what happens to incoming sunlight?
It doesn't affect it. Duh you shouldn't have to look it up online! Pay attention in school!
Will colour affect how fast ice will melt?
Colour is basically how much sunlight the object absorbs/reflects. Black absorbs all sunlight which is why it is so dark, white reflects all sunlight which is why it is so bright. So if the ice cube is say black, it will melt faster than if an ice cube was white, because of how much sunlight is absorbed.
How does sunlight affect leaves?
Sunlight per se has little affect on the leaves in fall; hours of daylight do have an affect.

What is it in wood ashes that melts ice?
Ice and snow are highly reflective; when sunlight hits them, most of it bounces off. Ashes are dark and absorb sunlight (and other radiant energy) and capture sunlight and cause the warm ashes to melt the ice and snow beneath them.
In what scenario is the blue component of incoming sunlight is scattered much more than any other color component?

Without sunlight, plants can not survive.
How does sunlight affect the temperature of pool water?

Why the ice in the Antarctica does not melt away into the sea when sunlight shines on it?
The reason the ice in the Antarctica does not melt away when sunlight shines upon it is because the whiteness of the ice reflects most of the light back into space. But as a result of global warming, much more ice are being melted now than before. And thus without the ice, more sea will appear. And with the sea, there were not as much ice to reflect the sunlight back into space, therefore more of the sunlight and its heat were absorbed by earth, and thus more and more ice will melt.
