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.
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.
