Explanation:

Brief Explanations

Albedo is the fraction of solar energy (short - wave radiation) reflected from the Earth back into space. A decrease in albedo means less sunlight is reflected and more is absorbed, which can lead to a rise in global temperatures. Satellites can measure Earth's albedo by observing the amount of sunlight reflected from the planet's surface and atmosphere.
