Here's a new scrabble word for you - Albedo. This is the measurement of reflectivity, and it is measured on a scale from 0 to 1. The color black is closer to the lower end of the spectrum (0 ...

Science of Weather: Albedo 01:55 (CBS DETROIT) - Every day, the sun's radiation is scattered. Some sunlight is absorbed, and some is reflected back into the atmosphere.

Albedo, which is what we will focus on in this article, is a measure of reflectivity. This is measured on a scale of 0 (0%) to 1 (100%), 0 being black (absorbs all infrared light) and 1 being ...

A 1 means that a material reflects all of the light energy that hits it. In other words, a 1 on the albedo scale means 100 percent reflection. A 0 means no reflection. Fresh asphalt, Flickr. Fresh ...

The albedo of the surface of the Earth has been in decline since the 1970s—due in part to the decline in Arctic snow and sea ice, which also means fewer white areas to reflect back sunlight.

New satellites that orbit the Earth at very low altitudes may result in a world where nothing is really off limits. A rendering of the satellite that Albedo Space is currently developing.Credit ...

Science Academy - Sponsored by Knova's Carpets (ktiv) 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.

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 ...
