A substance that has high reactivity does what?
A substance that has high reactivity displaces dissolved oxygen.
How to measure shininess?
The term you're looking for is albedo, and it's the percentage of light that is reflected by an object. The higher the percentage of light reflected, the higher the albedo. It is most often used in connection with astronomy, as in the albedo of certain planets. Planets that are cloud-covered have fairly high albedos, since clouds reflect sunlight pretty well. The moon, by comparison, has a very low albedo, because it's just dirt. Of course, the moon is very bright to us because it's so close.
Badwater Basin in Death Valley is covered with white salt crystals. What is likely to be true of this area?
The white salt crystals have a high albedo
What is a Light ratio in astronomy?
albedo
If a substance pours slowly it has a high?
viscosity
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.
Where is there high albedo?
Actually the very highest Albedo is from fresh snow which reads .8 to .9 (1 being the highest possible on the Albedo scale)
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.
What is something that has low albedo?
An object that has a high albedo is one that is highly reflective, but a poor absorber. An object that has a low albedo is one that does not reflect well, therefore, is a good absorber. This means that a black object has low albedo.
What is meant by 'albedo' of a planet?
Albedo is the fraction of sunlight that hits a planet that is reflected back out into space. A bright white planet that's full of ice would have a high albedo.
How do you use albedo in a sentence?
Astronomers deduced that Pluto was probably covered with ice due to it's relatively high albedo.
Which Earth material has the highest albedo?
Probably snow, if your Earth includes the totality of items found on the planet. Some clouds would have an albedo almost as high - but only in parts. If you wish to limit your answer to earth solids, then perhaps milky quartz, and marble would have a high albedo.
What are 3 examples of a high albedo?
snow, white 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).
Does a mirror have a low albedo?
no. a mirror has a high abedo (perhaps the highest)
Many clouds have a high albedo therefore tend to?
reflect sunlight
Many clouds have a high albedo and therefore tend to?
reflect sunlight
