How does the albedo of a surface change when forests are converted to agricultural fields?

Albedo is the measure of how much light is reflected. Forests are generally darker than agricultural fields so more sun is reflected and the albedo is increased.

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 are the factors the determine a planets albedo?
Clouds can increase a planet's albedo asthey reflect the radiation
What surface has a low albedo?
The color black generally has the lowest albedo, or reflectivity.
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.
Which has the lowest albedo A black sheet of paper A white sheet of paper The surface of a body of water or A mirror?
a black sheet of paper
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).
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 represents the reflectivity of a surface?
albedo
What has the lowest albrdo?
Charcoal has the lowest albedo. Albedo is the reflectivity of light from a surface.
What is Reflectivity of the Earth's surface called?
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.
What is radiant energy reflected back by a surface called?
Albedo
The reflectivity of a surface such as the ground or a cloud is known as what?
it is called albedo
The albedo of the earth's surface is the fraction of solar radiation that is?
reflected.
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 are the factors the determine a planets albedo?
Clouds can increase a planet's albedo asthey reflect the radiation
What processes contribute to the earth's albedo being 30 percent?
Albedo refers to the fraction of sunlight an object or material reflects. The average albedo of Earth's surface is 30%, which is influenced by deforestation and farming activities.
