How much sunlight does snow reflect?
The ability of the substance to reflect the sunlight from their surface is known as "Albedo". it values may vary between 0 to 1. if the body does not reflect sunlight its value may be taken as zero. if the body reflects complete sunlight its value may taken as 1. for example if the bodys albedo is 0.23 then we can say that 23 percent of sunlight is being reflected. For snow the albedo is 0.83 percent and for water it is 0.03 percent that means 83 percent of sunlight is reflected from snow , where as water reflects 3 to 4 percent of sunlight. Hence snow reflects more sunlight

What does it mean to say that a ground cover has a low albedo?
It means that low radiation is reflected by a or its surface.
What is the proportion of light reflected from a planet?
The name of the fraction of light reflected off a celestial object is its albedo. The moon has an albedo of around 0.12 which is to say about 12% of the light that falls on it gets reflected (some sources say as low as 7%) - meaning it's pretty dark. Enceladus, a moon of Saturn, has an albedo of about 0.99.
What are Effects of high albedo?
The albedo is the relative reflectivity of light from a surface, which for solar radiation indicates the percentage of solar energy that is not absorbed. Darker bodies generally have a lower reflectivity value.its the overall coefficient of reflectivity of an object
What is the phrase meaning of Nine-Tenth of the earth?
Nine tenths of the earth would mean ninety percent of the earth. Used in a phrase one could say: Nine tenths of the earth has some form of life on it. [though I doubt that fact is true.]
