Albedo planet would drop to about 0 °C. In contrast, if the entire Earth was covered by water — a so-called aquaplanet — the average temperature on the planet would rise to almost 27 °C. For land surfaces, it has been shown that the albedo at a particular solar zenith angle "θ" can be approximated by the proportionate sum of two terms: the directional-hemispherical reflectance at that solar zenith angle, formula_1, and the bi-hemispherical reflectance, formula_2, with formula_3 being the proportion of direct radiation from a given solar angle, and formula_4 being the proportion of diffuse illumination. Hence, the actual albedo
Incompressible surface Incompressible surface In mathematics, an incompressible surface is a surface properly embedded in a 3-manifold, which, in intuitive terms, is a "nontrivial" surface that has been simplified as much as possible by compressing disks. They are useful for decomposition of Haken manifolds and for normal surface theory. Let "S" be a compact surface properly embedded in a smooth or PL 3-manifold "M", and suppose that there is a disk "D" embedded in "M" such that where the curve ∂"D" does not bound a disk inside of "S". Then "D" is called a compressing disk for "S", and we call "S"
