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.

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.

What 2 processes heated earths core?

The two main processes that heat Earth's core are radioactive decay of elements such as uranium, thorium, and potassium, and residual heat leftover from the planet's formation 4.5 billion years ago. These processes contribute to the high temperatures at the core, keeping it molten.


When solar radiation enters the atmosphere most of the solar radiation is absorbed by the earths surface. However about 6 percent of the solar radiation is blank by the earths surface?

When solar radiation enters the atmosphere, most of it is absorbed by the Earth's surface. However, about 6 percent of the solar radiation is reflected back into space by the Earth's surface. This reflection occurs mainly from surfaces like ice, snow, and water, which have high albedo, meaning they reflect a significant portion of incoming solar energy.
