and less of it is absorbed.

How do you calculate the albedo of an area?
with a pyranometer or an albedometer
Which has the lowest albedo?
A wet field
Why is the mean a higher value when the three shortest hikes are omitted?
Because the previous mean was being reduced by the shortest hikes.
Is positive 4 bigger than negative 9?
Yes, if you mean is it a higher value.
What does the expression is at most mean?
The expression, "is at most" is stating that there is no higher terms than what is being stated.
Would A higher albedo result in an overall cooler climate?
A higher albedo would mean that more energy would be returned to space. This would mean a cooler climate.
A higher albedo means there will be what?
A higher albedo means that a higher percentage of incoming light is reflected.
Does farmland have higher albedo than ice?
Few things have higher albedo than ice - farmland is lower, but still higher than the forest which it probably replaced.
Which cause more light reflection albedo 2 or albedo 3?
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.
What has the lowest albedo?
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.
Which has a higher albedo sea ice or soil?
naturally sea ice would have the advantage of having a greater albedo
Why does the South Pole have a higher albedo than the North Pole?
There is more ice on Antarctica to reflect the sun's rays back into space -- albedo, than there is in the Arctic Ocean.
As the amount of sunlight you see reflected increases what does it increase?
This is a question where the meaning isn't totally clear. Perhaps it's a reference to "albedo". Albedo is a measure of the fraction of light reflected by planets, etc. The more sunlight that is reflected, the higher is the object's albedo. For example, the brilliant planet Venus has a very high albedo.
Ice caps more light than deserts because they have a higher albedo?
reflect
Because ice caps have a higher albedo they do what more than deserts?
They reflect the sun's radiation.
How does a low albedo affect the earth?
A lower albedo would mean that the Earth would absorb more solar energy and warm up more.
The fraction of incident light that a body reflects is known as its?
" albedo "
