What causes clouds to reflect a portion of sunlight back to space?
Clouds can reflect some light back to space depending on the water content in the clouds. The water causes a prism which reflects light back into space.
What causes clouds to reflect a portion of sunlight back into space?
Many people think that clouds consist of water vapor, but they are actually water droplets. Smooth, light-colored surfaces reflect light best, and because of the abundance of surfaces in a cumulus cloud (raincloud), there are many chances for the light to reflect back or be absorbed and re-radiated.
How do clouds keep the earth cool during the day?
They reflect sunlight back into space rather than reaching the ground and heating it up.
True or False On avereage clouds reflect more solar radiation back to space than the earths surface?
no
What is the name for the black stuff in space?
The black stuff in space is actually just a lack of stuff in space. The blackness is seen because there is not enough matter present in these areas to reflect sunlight for you to see.

Particles in the clouds reflect light in all directions

If you want me to fill in the blank, it is reflect.
Do clouds reflect some of the sun's radiation back into space?
Yes, they do, to a limited extent.
Why do the albedo values shift throughout the year?
Albedo, or the amount of sunlight reflected by an object, can vary by the season or by other factors. For example, clouds reflect much more sunlight back into space than water does, and ice and snow reflect even more. Forests, plants and bare ground have fairly low albedo; they absorb more energy.
Does the space station have flashing lights?
No, but if it is nighttime you can see it reflect the sunlight (if it is not in Earth's shadow).
True or False On avereage clouds reflect more solar radiation back to space than the earths surface?
no
