Currently it is 0.367 - about 30%. However, in 1976 the albedo was 0.39 Which is close to desert sand) as used by Vangelis in his album of the same name.
Albedo is a measure of reflectivity; it is a measure of the percentage of light reflected from a surface. A perfect mirror would have an albedo of 1, while white snow has an albedo of about 0.9. Charcoal has an albedo of about 0.04.An albedo higher than 1 is impossible.
Albedo. The albedo of the Earth is 0.367. When Vangelis released his album, Albedo 0.39, that was what the albedo of Earth was in 1976.
The average overall albedo of Earth, itsplanetary albedo, is 30 to 35%, because of the covering by clouds, but varies widely locally across the surface, depending on the geological and environmental features.
No, if Earth's albedo was higher and it was farther from the sun, it would receive less solar radiation, leading to cooler temperatures overall. Albedo affects how much incoming solar radiation is reflected back into space, but distance from the sun determines how much solar radiation reaches Earth in the first place.
Albedo means how reflective the earth is. Snow increases the earth's albedo by reflecting more of the sun's radiation.

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.
No, it can't be. It will change with cloud cover and the amount of polar ice.

CFC's are a major problem. It is because they deplete the ozone.
