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.
What is the percentage of solar radiation reflected from a surface?
This is called the "albedo." It is the ratio of reflected light compared to incident light, and depends on the surface material and its condition (e.g. snow, grassland).
What is a planet's reflectivity called?
A planet's reflectivity is called it albedo.
How does albedo affects the behavior of solar radiation?
Albedo is the proportion of light that an object reflects.
Mars has an albedo magnitude of?
The albedo of Mars is .15; you can see the albedo of all of the planets and moons in the solar system at the Nine Planets web site, linked below. "Albedo" is a measure of how reflective a body is. The higher the number, the more reflective the surface. So a high albedo says that a planet or asteroid reflects most of the light that hits it, while a low albedo indicates that most of the light is absorbed. Albedo can make calculations about climate change difficult. A planet with a high albedo reflects much of the Sun's light and heat, causing it not to heat up as much. A low albedo means that all of the solar radiation is absorbed and turned into heat. A warmer world will have less snow and ice cover, and thus a lower albedo, resulting in higher temperatures. On the other hand, a warmer world might have more clouds, which would increase Earth's albedo, reflect more sunlight, and reduce the heating effect. However, clouds also act to trap heat, sort of like a blanket. Whether the albedo effect would offset the "blanket" effect of clouds would depend on the type and height of the clouds and where they are located. Cloud effects are among the most important sources of uncertainty in modeling future climate change.
The fraction of incident light that a body reflects is known as its?
" albedo "
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.
What is the difference between albedo in rural and urban settings?
In rural settings, albedo is typically higher due to more natural surfaces like forests and grasslands that reflect sunlight. In urban settings, albedo is lower because of extensive pavement and buildings that absorb and retain heat, leading to the urban heat island effect.
When did Albedo Anthropomorphics happen?
Albedo Anthropomorphics happened in 1983.
Does albedo ben 10 have a gang?
Albedo is a lead villain in the fictional Ben 10 series. Albedo forms an alliance with Vilgax to destroy Ben. Vilgax assured Albedo that he will get him Ben's omnitrix.
What is the percentage of solar radiation reflected from a surface?
This is called the "albedo." It is the ratio of reflected light compared to incident light, and depends on the surface material and its condition (e.g. snow, grassland).
Does albedo like Julie?

What is a planet's reflectivity called?
