<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.

an object is tossed upwards with the same inital velocity on the earth then on the moon . will the max
vodomira [7]

The one tossed upward on the Moon will rise to a greater maximum height before starting to fall.  

It'll also spend more total time in flight before returning to the hand that tossed it. (I almost said that it'll spend "more time in the air".  That would be silly on the Moon.)
