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.
