Albedo, the measure of how much sunlight is reflected by a surface, doesn't change much over the course of a day because it is primarily determined by the surface characteristics, such as color, texture, and composition. While the angle of sunlight can vary throughout the day, affecting the intensity of light reaching the surface, the inherent reflective properties of the surface remain relatively constant. Seasonal changes and weather conditions can influence albedo more significantly than daily fluctuations. Overall, the stability of surface characteristics contributes to the relatively consistent albedo values observed over short time frames.
What else can I help you with?
What might be the effect of sprinkling black soot over the ice in the Arctic and Antarctica?
This would alter the snow-albedo feedback. Darkening the surface of snow/ice greatly lowers the albedo (reflectivity) of the surface. This would cause the snow/ice surface to absorb more solar radiation by virtue of its lower albedo, which would allow it to heat up more. Normally most solar radiation is simply reflected by snow back into the atmosphere and mostly out to space, so by causing it to absorb more you are heating up the lower atmosphere. By doing this, you are more likely to melt the snow/ice, whereby the albedo will be even lower, which would then absorb more radiation, etc.. This is called a positive feedback loop.

A joke.

What are the causes of climate change for children?
All over the worldWe are using too much electricity.We are using too much gasoline.We are cutting down too many trees.This is why we have global warming.
How a group of organisms that changes over time is said to?
This is a very short and incomplete definition of evolution. Much more is involved than just change over time. Humans have been a species for over 75,000 years and we have not changed much. It would have to also involve some thing that gives that population an advantage to survive when the environment is extremely demanding and harsh.
How would you know if your boyfriend is over his past?
if he doesnt talk about it much, doesnt bring it up during conversation.
Which Earth material has the highest albedo?
Probably snow, if your Earth includes the totality of items found on the planet. Some clouds would have an albedo almost as high - but only in parts. If you wish to limit your answer to earth solids, then perhaps milky quartz, and marble would have a high albedo.
Why is Scotland better than china?
because it doesnt pollute as much and we are just awesome! :) also it doesnt over populate,..

Why doesnt the language latin change over time like English?
