The albedo (brightness) of the earth depends on the amount of sunlight that it reflects, and this figure cannot be determined accurately by looking up from the surface. Even rockets shot above the ...

The Earth is slowly losing its shine. Its reflectivity – or albedo – is declining, mostly due to vanishing ice cover and ...

Albedo is building satellites to map and monitor the Earth with powerful precision and detail for use in agriculture, energy, mapping, and defense.
