Albedo is the fraction of solar energy reflected from the Earth back into space. Consider the following :
1. Fresh snow
2. Ocean ice
3. Rivers on high mountains.
The correct order of their Albedo is :
1 > 2 > 3
2 > 3 > 1
2 > 1 > 3
1 > 3 > 2
Explanation:
Albedo is a measure of the reflectivity of the earth’s surface. Ice, especially with snow on top of it, has a high albedo: most sunlight hitting the surface bounces back towards space.
