Albedo keeps us cool — literally!
Parts of Earth with high albedo, like sea ice or clouds, reflect sunlight, which helps regulate Earth’s temperature.

Albedo is a measure of how much light and heat a surface reflects. Lighter objects tend to have higher albedo, and darker objects have lower. This reflectivity plays an important role in studying the makeup of the surface of bodies like the Moon.
