Albedo Value Calculation


Output: Press calculate

Formula: Albedo = reflectedRadiation / incomingSolarRadiation

Albedo is a measure of how much solar radiation is reflected by a surface. It is a dimensionless value typically expressed as a fraction or percentage. In this formula, incomingSolarRadiation represents the total incoming solar radiation that hits a surface, and reflectedRadiation represents the part of the radiation that is reflected away by the surface. To calculate the albedo, one should divide the reflected radiation by the incoming solar radiation. This value is crucial in understanding the Earth's climate system, as it affects the amount of heat absorbed by the planet.
