Answer:True

Explanation:

Albedo is a unit-less, non-dimensional quantity that shows how well a surface reflects solar energy. The value of albedo can vary from 0 to 1, 0 being the black and 1 refers to a white surface. Zero means Surface is a perfect absorber i.e. it absorbs all the incoming rays incidents on it. Albedo 1 means the surface is a perfect reflector.

Albedo usually applies for visible light, even though it may involve some of the infrared regions of the electromagnetic spectrum. The average albedo associated with earth surface is 30%
