Albedo Effect

If a surface has an albedo of 0, how much light is reflected?

• 0%

• 50%

• 75%

• 100%

If a surface has an albedo of 0, how much light is absorbed?

• 0%

• 50%

• 75%

• 100%

This is the measurement of the amount of reflectivity of a surface.

• Greenhouse number

• Albedo

• Viscosity

• Reflective score

When humans build dark surfaces like roads and rooftops, what does this do to Earth's overall albedo?

• It increases Earth's albedo

• It decreases Earth's albedo

• It has no impact on Earth's albedo

What is the relationship between the Earth's albedo, and the average temperature?

• As the albedo of Earth decreases, the temperature will increase because light surfaces trap heat

• As the albedo of Earth increases, the temperature will increase because dark surfaces trap heat

• As the albedo of Earth decreases, the temperature will increase because dark surfaces trap heat

• There is no relationship between temperature and albedo
