Earthâs Albedo and Global Warming This interactive activity adapted from NASA and the U.S. Geological Survey illustrates the concept of albedoâthe measure of how much solar radiation is reflected from Earth's surface. The balance between the amount of solar radiation reflected and absorbed by Earth's surface plays an important role in regulating global temperature.
If an object absorbs most of the light that hits it, it looks dark and has low albedo. Darker bodies generally have a lower reflectivity value. Albedo is a term used in reflectivity. It is derived from Latin word âalbedoâ which means 'whiteness'. The degree to which a material will reflect the received solar radiation is administered by the material's albedo, a measure of its solar reflectivity.
