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).
Albedo And Global Warming The variation in the average albedo of Earth has a significant influence on the temperature of the Earth. If the average albedo is lower than the previous year's albedo, it indicates that amount of radiation absorbed is higher and this results in the increase in the temperature of the Earth.
