How does snow affect the earth's albedo?
Albedo means how reflective the earth is. Snow increases the earth's albedo by reflecting more of the sun's radiation.
Energy that is reflected from the atmosphere is?
Energy that is reflected from the atmosphere is called albedo. With albedo, sunlight is reflected which prevents solar energy from being absorbed in the ground.
What happens to visible light that enters earths atmosphere?
it is reflected or scattered due to albedo.
The area around the equator is usually hot What happens to the temperature at the poles?
the temperature at the poles are cold due to albedo which is that light substances reflect heat back into the atmosphere
Would increases in carbon dioxide in your atmosphere cause a cooling trend?
No, increases in carbon dioxide in your atmosphere would cause a warming trend.

What does the snow storm do to the environment?
Increases the albedo of the Earth
Do aerosols affect the atmosphere?
They can. They produce an increased albedo affect and cause cooling.

As the amount of sunlight you see reflected increases what does it increase?
This is a question where the meaning isn't totally clear. Perhaps it's a reference to "albedo". Albedo is a measure of the fraction of light reflected by planets, etc. The more sunlight that is reflected, the higher is the object's albedo. For example, the brilliant planet Venus has a very high albedo.
How does equilibrium relate to the atmosphere?
atmosphere pressure is increases ,the rate of forward reaction is increases .the equlibrium is changes
Why would overgrazing by cattle and sheep make the great plains vulnerable to the dust bowl?
Because overgrazing increases albedo
The area around the equator is usually hot What happens to the temperature at the poles?
the temperature at the poles are cold due to albedo which is that light substances reflect heat back into the atmosphere
When altitude increases does air density?
The density of the atmosphere decreases with altitude.
The fraction of incident light that a body reflects is known as its?
" albedo "
How would melting ice caps change the albedo affect?
Melting ice caps increases the amount of light absorbed from the sun since the oceans absorb instead of reflect light, thus albedo, the ability to reflect light from the surface, is diminished.
