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.
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
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.
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.
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.
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.
Ice caps more light than deserts because they have a higher albedo?
reflect
Because ice caps have a higher albedo they do what more than deserts?
They reflect the sun's radiation.
