If earths albedo was higher but earth was farther from the sun could the earth have the same temperature?

No, both conditions would make the earth cooler.

Does farmland have higher albedo than ice?
Few things have higher albedo than ice - farmland is lower, but still higher than the forest which it probably replaced.
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.
Which has a higher albedo sea ice or soil?
naturally sea ice would have the advantage of having a greater albedo
Would A higher albedo result in an overall cooler climate?
A higher albedo would mean that more energy would be returned to space. This would mean a cooler climate.
Why does the South Pole have a higher albedo than the North Pole?
There is more ice on Antarctica to reflect the sun's rays back into space -- albedo, than there is in the Arctic Ocean.
A higher albedo means there will be what?
A higher albedo means that a higher percentage of incoming light is reflected.
What does A higher albedo mean?
A higher albedo means that more of the incident radiation is reflected, and less of it is absorbed.

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.

A higher albedo would mean that more energy would be returned to space. This would mean a cooler climate.
What happens to air molecules as you go higher in earths atmosphere?
they are spread farther apart, causing the air to get thinner, making it harder to breathe. ;P
What is happining to the earths temperature?
The temperature is getting higher because of the gases and because of that the ice is melting and in several years we all can die because we will drown.
Why does the South Pole have a higher albedo than the North Pole?
There is more ice on Antarctica to reflect the sun's rays back into space -- albedo, than there is in the Arctic Ocean.
Why can elements be produced in the sun but not in the earths atmosphere?
The temperature and pressure in the sun are just a bit higher than anywhere on Earth.
How are carbon emissions affecting the earths natural cycle of temperature change?
Temperatures are becoming higher than expected. [APEX]
