The term you're looking for is albedo, and it's the percentage of light that is reflected by an object. The higher the percentage of light reflected, the higher the albedo. It is most often used in connection with astronomy, as in the albedo of certain planets. Planets that are cloud-covered have fairly high albedos, since clouds reflect sunlight pretty well. The moon, by comparison, has a very low albedo, because it's just dirt. Of course, the moon is very bright to us because it's so close.
