Arctic ice reflects the Sun's light.

Explanation:

The evidence from the passage that best supports the statement is that Arctic ice reflects the Sun's light.

Ice is a white body and it has a very high albedo of above 90%. It reflects a lot of radiation incident on its surface.

  • The Arctic ice helps to cool the surface temperature.
  • Instead of absorbing the short wavelength radiation from the sun, it reflects them back.
  • When a body absorbs radiation, it emits long wave radiation that warms the earth surface
  • In the Arctic ice, the reflectivity is high and the short wave radiation are turned back.
