Here's a new scrabble word for you - Albedo. This is the measurement of reflectivity, and it is measured on a scale from 0 to 1. The color black is closer to the lower end of the spectrum (0 ...

The study found that the albedo effect in the Arctic was falling decade-on-decade A loss of snow and ice cover are the main reasons for a reduction in the Arctic's ability to reflect heat ...

Snow reflects the sunlight back into space without converting it into heat (the albedo effect). The trees in this plantation in South Greenland reduce the albedo effect.

“The albedo is a key input parameter for bifacial PV energy yield estimations, but best practices are not yet completely defined, and proper procedures for albedo measurement are still under debate.
