Albedo Effect
Llamamos efecto albedo al reflejo de la radiación solar cuando cae sobre el planeta. Las superficies claras, como el hielo o la nieve, tienen un mayor albedo, mientras que las superficies oscuras, como los bosques, rocas u océanos, tienen un efecto menor. A menudo el efecto albedo se mide en porcentajes, siendo mayor cuanto más clara y reflectante es la superficie.
