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.

Does waxing moon increases the sunlight?

No, the waxing moon phase refers to the increasing illumination of the moon as seen from Earth due to the sunlight reflecting off its surface. The waxing moon does not affect the amount of sunlight reaching the Earth.


Why direct sunlight hotter than reflected sunlight?

Direct sunlight is hotter than reflected sunlight because it delivers a concentrated amount of solar energy directly to a surface, resulting in higher temperatures. Reflected sunlight, on the other hand, scatters the energy and typically loses some intensity and heat during the reflection process. This means that surfaces illuminated by direct sunlight absorb more energy and heat up more than those illuminated by reflected sunlight.


Does the moon absorb sunlight?

On average, the Moon absorbs 88% of the sunlight that falls on it. The "albedo" or amount of reflected light is 12%, approximately the same as that of asphalt.


What is the name of the amount of sunlight that the surface of the moon reflects?

In astronomy, the amount of light reflected by the Moon - or by any other object - is called "albedo", which literally means "whiteness".In astronomy, the amount of light reflected by the Moon - or by any other object - is called "albedo", which literally means "whiteness".In astronomy, the amount of light reflected by the Moon - or by any other object - is called "albedo", which literally means "whiteness".In astronomy, the amount of light reflected by the Moon - or by any other object - is called "albedo", which literally means "whiteness".


As the temperature of a star increases does the amount of light it emits increase or decrease?

As the temperature of a star increases, the amount of light it emits increases. This is because hotter objects emit more energy in the form of light, including higher energy photons in the visible spectrum, leading to a brighter appearance.

Does a high albedo increase temperature?

No, a high albedo does not increase temperature. Albedo refers to the amount of sunlight reflected by a surface, so a high albedo means more sunlight is reflected and less is absorbed, which can help to keep temperatures lower.


What must be equal to the amount of sunlight reflected plus the amout absorbed?

The amount of sunlight reflected plus the amount absorbed must be equal to the amount of sunlight that hits the surface (incident sunlight) in order to account for all the incoming solar radiation.


When the amount of light reflected increases called?

When the amount of light reflected increases, it is referred to as brightness or luminance. This is a measure of how intense the light appears to the human eye.

The term albedo refers to the?

Albedo refers to the amount of sunlight that is reflected off a surface, typically measured as a percentage. Higher albedo values mean more sunlight is reflected, while lower values indicate more absorption by the surface.

This means that surfaces illuminated by direct sunlight absorb more energy and heat up more than those illuminated by reflected sunlight.


Energy that is reflected from the atmosphere is?

called albedo, and it represents the amount of sunlight that is reflected off the Earth's surface back into space. Albedo is influenced by factors such as surface type, cloud cover, and atmospheric conditions. A high albedo means more sunlight is reflected, while a low albedo means more sunlight is absorbed.
