Albedo: History, Terrestrial albedo & Examples of terrestrial albedo effects

Albedo (/ælˈbiːdoʊ/ ⓘ 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). Surface albedo is defined as the ratio of radiosity Je…
