Albedo - Wikipedia
WEBAlbedo (/ æ l ˈ b iː d oʊ / al-BEE-doh; from Latin albedo 'whiteness') is the fraction of sunlight that is diffusely reflected by a body. It is measured on a scale from 0 (corresponding to a black body that absorbs all incident radiation) to 1 (corresponding to a body that reflects all incident radiation).

Albedo | Definition & Examples | Britannica
WEBApr 4, 2024 · Albedo, fraction of light that is reflected by a body or surface. It is commonly used in astronomy to describe the reflective properties of planets, satellites, and asteroids. It is an important consideration in climatology since recent decreases in the albedo in the Arctic has increased heat absorption at the surface.
Albedo Definition & Meaning - Merriam-Webster
WEBThe meaning of ALBEDO is reflective power; specifically : the fraction of incident radiation (such as light) that is reflected by a surface or body (such as the moon or a cloud). How to use albedo in a sentence.
Albedo and Climate | Center for Science Education
WEBThe amount of energy reflected by a surface is called albedo. Dark colors have an albedo close to zero, meaning little or no energy is reflected. Pale colors have an albedo close to 100%, meaning nearly all the energy is reflected.
What is Albedo? | My NASA Data
WEBAlbedo is the fraction of light that a surface reflects. If it is all reflected, the albedo is equal to 1. If 30% is reflected, the albedo is 0.3. The albedo of Earth's surface (atmosphere, ocean, land surfaces) determines how much incoming solar energy, or light, is immediately reflected back to space. This can have an impact on climate.
Albedo - Energy Education
WEBAlbedos of different surfaces. [1] An albedo of 1 would mean a perfect reflector and an albedo of 0 would absorb all light striking it. Albedo is the amount of sunlight ( solar radiation) reflected by a surface, and is usually expressed as a percentage or a decimal value, with 1 being a perfect reflector and 0 absorbing all incoming light.

WEBAlbedo is the measure of how much light something reflects. The more light something absorbs, the lower its albedo and the warmer it will get. Areas with high albedo reflect more light and energy and stay cooler. The Earth reflects about 30% of the Sun’s energy.
Albedo | COSMOS - Swinburne
WEBThe albedo is the ratio of the reflected light to the incident light: and has values between: 0: a black object that absorbs all light and reflects none; and. 1: a white object that reflects all light and absorbs none. Planets and satellites with clouds tend to have a high albedo, while rocky objects such as asteroids have a low albedo.
