Curious, what is albedo?

[KarlInOhio]

Albedo is how much light an object reflects.

0.12 means the moon is dark gray, not the nearly white it appears in the sky.

Curious, what is albedo?

1. A word, the meaning of which you can find on the Internet (Wikipedia) in about 3 seconds.

2. A word which was taught to you in 8th-grade science class.

3. The reflectivity of a celestial body (the Moon has an albedo of about 6% - similar to coal; the Earth has an albedo of 35%).
