The other big factor is the reflectance of snow, known as albedo. Albedo is defined as the ratio between how much light a material reflects -- to the amount of incoming light. We give different ...

The Swiss cheese holes are due to something called the albedo effect. When light falls on a surface, two things can happen. The light (and the energy it carries) can be absorbed by the surface ...

In tropical rainforest areas, dense vegetation absorbs radiation giving a low relative albedo effect. The Sun is directly overhead in the equatorial and tropical regions throughout the year.
