How does albedo relate to the study of climate change?
Scientists use the term albedo to define the percentage of solar energy reflected back by a surface. Understanding local, regional, and global albedo effects is critical to predicting global climate change. The following are some of the factors that influence the earth's albedo: Clouds, Surface, Oceans and Forests
How does the albedo effect keep the polar regions cold?
it reflects the radiation because the snow is white
What is the importance of albedo?
The albedo effect reflects the sun's radiation helping to slow the effects of global warming (like sea ice, white ice caps and glaciers). If (or when) these melt, then the reflection will stop and the warming will speed up!
How can the temperatures of sand and water affect the climate of the area?
The causes of effect change it
What are ocean currents determined by?
Changes in temperature as water flows from one location to another cause it to expand and contract. This constant expansion and contraction pushes water in other areas in another direction thus causing it to change temperature and continue the cycle. Tide shifting also has some effect. The tides (shifting of water from lunar gravity) can often initiate shifts in ocean currents. But it is temperature that has the largest effect on a global scale. Some would say the wind also has some effect, but most of that is the side effect of the wind changing the temperature of an area as it carrys in a hot or cold front. Wind itself is mostly a side effect of temperature change. In effect, wind is the side effect of temperature change in the air, much like ocean currents are the side effect of temperature change in water. Temperature changes as the sun passes over various things cause them to expand or contract, this is the base cause of nearly any shifting or flowing of anything on a global scale such as wind and water. Any other influence is minimal compared to temperature. --- edit note: whoever keeps changing this to just say "wind" has not researched the subject at all.
Which planetary property does not play a role in determining a planet's atmospheric temperature a distance from the Sun b its albedo c the greenhouse effect d None of the?
All of the above play a role in determining atmospheric temperature: the planet's distance from the sun, its size, albedo, and greenhouse effect.The answer to this homework question is: ALL OF THE ABOVE:)

Mars has an albedo magnitude of?
The albedo of Mars is .15; you can see the albedo of all of the planets and moons in the solar system at the Nine Planets web site, linked below. "Albedo" is a measure of how reflective a body is. The higher the number, the more reflective the surface. So a high albedo says that a planet or asteroid reflects most of the light that hits it, while a low albedo indicates that most of the light is absorbed. Albedo can make calculations about climate change difficult. A planet with a high albedo reflects much of the Sun's light and heat, causing it not to heat up as much. A low albedo means that all of the solar radiation is absorbed and turned into heat. A warmer world will have less snow and ice cover, and thus a lower albedo, resulting in higher temperatures. On the other hand, a warmer world might have more clouds, which would increase Earth's albedo, reflect more sunlight, and reduce the heating effect. However, clouds also act to trap heat, sort of like a blanket. Whether the albedo effect would offset the "blanket" effect of clouds would depend on the type and height of the clouds and where they are located. Cloud effects are among the most important sources of uncertainty in modeling future climate change.
Does temperature have an effect on the rate at a physical or chemical change?
Yes, temperature have generally an important effect.
What is the Effect of temperature on reverse biase of led?
..change it ..change it
What is the effect of temperature change to the amount of heat content of the substance?
The effect of temperature change to the amount of heat content of the substance is called heat transfer. As heat increases, the temperature decreases.
Same and differences of albedo and insolation?
The albedo effect is how a darker material gets hotter faster than a lighter material. Insolation is the solar radiation from the sun.
Does change in temperature effect the durability of tennis strings?
yes it does
How does a large change in temperature or PH effect proteins?
It denatures it.
What effect of low temperature on microbiostatic?
microbiostatic would slow don its growth and less inhibit the reproductive of cell.example, the temperature is 37C drops to 15C (cold temperature), the microbistatic is reduced as the result.
Does temperature have an effect on chemical reaction?
Yes, because the temperature can change the state of the elements being chemical;y tested so yes it does have and effect
How does the albedo effect keep the polar regions cold?
it reflects the radiation because the snow is white
