Mercury's overall albedo is only about 10 per cent. It's surface, therefore, must be made of a dark material. Though a few regions are very reflective, with albedoes of up to 45 per cent.

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.


The surface reflectivity of a planet or moon is called?

Albedo. The albedo of the Earth is 0.367. When Vangelis released his album, Albedo 0.39, that was what the albedo of Earth was in 1976.


What is the albedo of Neptune?

The average overall albedo of Earth, itsplanetary albedo, is 30 to 35%, because of the covering by clouds, but varies widely locally across the surface, depending on the geological and environmental features.


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.


Many clouds have albedo?

Yes, everything has albedo. Albedo refers to the reflectivity of any object or substance. White clouds have a high albedo - they reflect a lot of light. Dark clouds have a lower albedo; they don't reflect as much.
