<h2>Answer: Albedo </h2>

The <u>albedo</u> is an amount that expresses the percentage of radiation a surface reflects with respect to the incident radiation.

In other words:

This amount allows us to know the level of radiation that <u>reflects</u> a surface compared to the total <u>radiation it receives</u>.

According to this, light surfaces such as snow covered ground or white sand will have a higher albedo than dark surfaces such as carbon covered ground. It is also important to note, the albedo will be higher on glossy surfaces than on matte surfaces.

It should be noted that the albedo of the Earth is on average about 37\%, which means that part of the radiation received by the Sun is absorbed and another part reflected back to space.
