Most objects reflect light. Visible sunlight is white in color and is made up several wavelengths of different colors, and snow appears white because it absorbs no sunlight, and reflects all of it. Other colored objects absorb certain wavelengths, and reflect others, thus appearing colored. Black objects absorb everything. Snow reflex lights so well because, at a micro level, snow crystal structure provides many faces off which sunlight is reflected.

Does ice reflect sunlight like a mirror?

Sea ice has an albedo of between 0.5 and 0.7. This means that it reflects between 50 and 70% of the sun's radiation (that lands on the ice).Ice with snow on it has a higher albedo, between 70 and 90%.Of the 100% of the sun's radiation that reaches the earth, 4% is reflected by the earth's surface, with about 2% reflected by ice.
