no. a mirror has a high abedo (perhaps the highest)

" albedo "
A higher albedo means that a higher percentage of incoming light is reflected.
Light is reflected from some light source (the sun) off of your face, to the water, and back into your eyes. The reason that you see yourself as opposed to just light, is that some of the color from the light is absorbed by your skin before it bounces off the water.
Albedo is the fraction of solar energy (shortwave radiation) reflected from the Earth back into space. The albedo of an object is a measure of how strongly it reflects light from light sources such as the sun. It is therefore a more specific form of the term reflectivity.
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.
An object that has a high albedo is one that is highly reflective, but a poor absorber. An object that has a low albedo is one that does not reflect well, therefore, is a good absorber. This means that a black object has low albedo.
A wet field
Albedo means reflectivity. The higher the albedo, the more light (and heat) is being reflected. Generally, the darker the color, the lower the albedo : most of the energy is absorbed. Snow has a fairly high albedo, as do clouds. Black tar roofs have a very low albedo.
The color black generally has the lowest albedo, or reflectivity.
It means that low radiation is reflected by a or its surface.
A lower albedo would mean that the Earth would absorb more solar energy and warm up more.
This is called the "albedo." It is the ratio of reflected light compared to incident light, and depends on the surface material and its condition (e.g. snow, grassland).
A Mirror?Answer:A perfect front surface mirror has an albedo of 100%; the polished surface of white metals like aluminum or silver comes close to that figure.
