Question 18.what causes clouds to reflect a portion of sunlight back to space
definitely d the albedo effect. since the clouds are usually white and white things reflect all of the colors a portion of sunlight is reflected into space
Answer: The correct option is d.
Explanation:
Albedo is defined as the fraction of total incident solar radiation reflected by a planet back to space. It is the fraction of light reflected by the surface.
It is a measure of the planet's energy balance. The value of albedo is dependent on the spectrum of incident radiation.
Therefore, a characteristic known as albedo causes clouds to reflect a portion of sunlight back to space.
