Albedo definition, Astronomy. the ratio of the light reflected by a planet or satellite to that received by it. See more.
Term used to describe the reflective power of any surface. In astronomy, scientists use albedo to describe the brightness of an object in space. While light strikes the object, it reflects the light back. Albedo is measured as a scale, where 0 refers to an object that is perfectly dark i.e. it does not reflect any light. A 1 on the scale refers to a perfectly reflective object.
