The highest reflectivity of the Sun's light and heat is from what?

1) Cloud cover: the recent decrease in the output of cosmic rays from the Sun gives less sites of nucleation for cloud water droplets to form which gives less clouds, and
2) Arctic Ice : where it isn't already gone - exposing heat absorbing land - it is covered in soot.
3B) We should be more concerned with what we absorb than what we can reflect.

What does the suns heat and light come from?
the suns heat light and energy comes from the core of the sun and travels trough space
Why can you feel the suns heat when there is no air between the sun and the earth?
Energy from the sun is transferred via electromagnetic radiation such as light. When this light hits you, your skin and clothes absorb some of the energy as heat.
What processes is the suns radiant energy a major factor of?
Producing heat.
Why is mercury not the hotest planet to do nearest to the sun?
cause mercury doesnt trap the suns heat into the surface. It burns in the day time but freezes at the night time. Venus traps the suns heat in its surface.
What is reflectivity of a surface called?
One term often used in Astronomy is the albedo. It refers to the percentage or fraction of incoming light that is reflected.
What does the suns heat and light come from?
the suns heat light and energy comes from the core of the sun and travels trough space
Does photosynthesis need the suns heat energy or the suns light energy?
Light energy.
What process makes the sun's heat light for kids?
the suns heat makes light the sun heat is orange which gives light
What is the process called that makes the suns heat and light?
Nuclear fusion.
What gives heat and light to all the planets?
Nuclear Fusion and Fission from the Suns' core.
What metal is found on satellites that reflects heat from the sun?
Gold foil is normally used to reflect solar heat in satellites because it has the highest reflectivity in the infrared spectrum (and, as NASA used to say, solid Gold was too expensive!)
How does the suns energy reach Earth?
Waves of heat and light, called radiation, travel to earth.
Who is the person who invented light?
No one invented light. Light is a natural phenomenon produced by the suns heat energy. If you mean the light BULB then it was Thomas Edison

What is the suns source of energy?
The sun crushes hydrogen into helium with its immense gravity. This makes light and heat. This is a nuclear reaction.
