Meaning

Albedo is a measure of how much solar radiation is reflected and how much is absorbed by a planet.

About Albedo

The albedo of a planet affects the average temperature of a planet's surface.
A planet will achieve temperature constancy when it emits the same amount of radiation as it absorbs.
