What happens to visible light that enters earths atmosphere?
it is reflected or scattered due to albedo.
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.
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.
