Sudden Infant Death Syndrome (SIDS), according to a definition on the Mayo Clinic website, is the unexplained death, usually during sleep, of a seemingly healthy baby less than a year old.. The cause is still unknown, but it does not appear to be suffocation, according to the SIDS Network.
Albedo (/Ã¦lËbiËdoÊ/) is a measure for reflectance or optical brightness (Latin albedo, whiteness). It is dimensionless and measured on a scale from zero (corresponding to a black body that absorbs all incident radiation) to one (corresponding to a white body that reflects all incident radiation).
The issue is really not color - that is, red, green, yellow, etc.; so much as reflectivity. We have a special word for the reflectivity of planetary bodies - albedo. The albedo of an object is a number between 0 and 1 and it is just the fraction of light that is reflected. See Table 10.2 for the terrestrial planets.
