What else can I help you with?
What do we call a measure of height above earths surface?
Height above earths surface is called elevation
What is the name of earths surface layer?
The Earth's surface layer is called the crust.
What is the fraction of the total radiation encountered that is reflected by a surface called?
The fraction of total radiation reflected by a surface is known as its albedo. It is expressed as a value between 0 and 1, with higher values indicating greater reflectivity and lower values indicating lower reflectivity.
What is the reflectivity of a surface called?
The reflectivity of a surface is called its albedo. It is a measure of how much of the incoming radiation that hits a surface is reflected back without being absorbed. High-albedo surfaces reflect more light, while low-albedo surfaces absorb more light.
How does albedo affect the behavior of solar radiation reaching earths surface?
Albedo refers to the reflectivity of a surface. Surfaces with high albedo reflect more solar radiation back into space, which can cool the Earth's surface and lower temperatures. Surfaces with low albedo absorb more solar radiation, leading to warming of the Earth's surface.
The reflectivity of a surface such as the ground or a cloud is known as what?
it is called albedo
What represents the reflectivity of a surface?
albedo
When earths regions of earths surface sinks down what is it called?
Subsidence.
What is the difference between reflectance and reflectivity, and how do they relate to each other in the context of light and surface interactions?
Reflectance refers to the amount of light that is reflected off a surface, while reflectivity is a measure of how efficiently a surface reflects light. Reflectance is a property of the surface, while reflectivity is a physical property of the material. In the context of light and surface interactions, reflectance and reflectivity are related in that they both describe how much light is reflected off a surface, but reflectivity specifically quantifies the efficiency of that reflection.
What is the property that reflects light?
The property that reflects light is called reflectivity. This is the measure of how well a surface reflects light and is often described in terms of its reflectance or albedo. Smooth, shiny surfaces tend to have high reflectivity, while rough or dark surfaces have low reflectivity.
What is a planet's reflectivity called?
A planet's reflectivity is called its albedo, which is a measure of how much sunlight is reflected by the planet's surface. A high albedo means more light is reflected, while a low albedo means more light is absorbed. Albedo can affect a planet's climate by influencing its temperature.
What is earths top surface?
It is called the crust.
What is the earths flat surface called?
Projection
What do we call a measure of height above earths surface?
Height above earths surface is called elevation
What is the fraction of total radiation that is reflected by any surface called?
It is the reflectivity of the surface. However, it is important to note that the reflected fraction depends on the wavelength of the incident light.
What is molten material beneath earths surface called?
it is called magma.
Is the earths surface also called the crust?
Yes
