The fraction of solar energy reflected from Earth into space is known as

A insolation
B albedo
C irradiation
D heat loss

Correct Answer: insolation

Albedo is the fraction of solar energy (shortwave radiation) reflected from the Earth back into space. It 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. Insolation is the incident solar radiation onto some object. Specifically, it is a measure of the solar energy that is incident on a specified area over a set period of time. Generally, insolation is expressed in two ways.
