This week’s Sunday Science Tidbit we’re going to talk about albedo. Albedo comes from the latin word “alba” which means white. It describes how reflective something is on a scale from 0 to 1 with 0 ...

When the balance in reflectivity shifts, “the whole circulation of the climate will shift in order to transport energy from ...

LOUISVILLE, Ky. (WAVE) - The sun is always shining bright, regardless if clouds obstruct our view or not. The Earth’s surface sometimes absorbs sunlight, while other times it reflects it. The National ...

Concrete and pavement are warm, while grassy or snowy areas are cool. That's an observation we are familiar with. Have you ever wondered why each material has a different temperature? Why aren't all ...

Some carbon credit projects may trap heat instead of cooling the planet. A new study highlights the missing role of sunlight ...

The view of Earth from space is famously familiar—bright blue ocean, swirling gyres of white clouds, touches of terrestrial ...

An analysis of forest-based projects funded through the sale of carbon credits shows that 10% of them may have a net warming effect on the climate because of the way they alter the Earth’s albedo, or ...

A new study provides a global analysis of where restoration of tree cover is most effective at cooling the global climate system, considering not just the cooling from carbon storage but also the ...

An analysis of forest-based projects funded through the sale of carbon credits shows that 10% of them may have a net warming ...

This episode is about how different objects absorb or reflect light, called albedo. We will use dark things and light things to show how it works. It all comes down to this thing called albedo. White ...

NASA has revealed that planet Earth has been emitting a decreased amount of light over the past two decades, here is what it ...

Considering the globe as a whole, high clouds and cloud-free scenes result in warming of the Earth's atmosphere, as less energy escapes into space than arrives from the sun. For low clouds, it's the ...
