The following information is about Albedo.
Albedo Defined
The ratio between the amount of light a body reflects or scatters and the total amount of light that falls on the body. E.g. an albedo of 90% means 90% of the light is reflected, only 10% is absorbed.
This definition is in context to Oceanography. See more contextual defintions for Albedo.
