Albedo means how reflective the earth is. Snow increases the earth's albedo by reflecting more of the sun's radiation.

Where is there high albedo?
Actually the very highest Albedo is from fresh snow which reads .8 to .9 (1 being the highest possible on the Albedo scale)
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.
What happens to visible light that enters earths atmosphere?
it is reflected or scattered due to albedo.
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.
How does the albedo effect keep the polar regions cold?
it reflects the radiation because the snow is white

What does the snow storm do to the environment?
Increases the albedo of the Earth

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.
What are 3 examples of a high albedo?
snow, white paper
Which substance has a high albedo?
snow
What happens to visible light that enters earths atmosphere?
it is reflected or scattered due to albedo.
Is earths albedo constant?
No, it can't be. It will change with cloud cover and the amount of polar ice.
What has the highest albedo Choose one answer a asphalt b forests c grassland d snow?
D. Snow
Do aerosols affect the atmosphere?
They can. They produce an increased albedo affect and cause cooling.
Would snow have a low or high albedo value?
Snow, particularly fresh snow, has some of the highest albedos of anything on Earth's surface.
Which surface would have the highest albedo?
continental ice sheets and snow felts
