When seen from a distance, the ocean surface has a low albedo, as do most forests, whereas desert areas have some of the highest albedos among landforms. Most land areas are in an albedo range of 0.1 to 0.4. [14] The average albedo of Earth is about 0.3. [15] This is far higher than for the ocean primarily because of the contribution of clouds.
Japanese woodblock print showcasing transience, precarious beauty, and the passage of time, thus "mirroring" mono no aware [1] Mono no aware (物の哀れ), [a] lit. ' the pathos of things ', and also translated as ' an empathy toward things ', or ' a sensitivity to ephemera ', is a Japanese idiom for the awareness of impermanence (無常, mujō), or transience of things, and both a transient ...
The geometric albedo of these bodies can be difficult to determine because of this, as their reflectance is strongly peaked for a small range of phase angles near zero. [1] The strength of this peak differs markedly between bodies, and can only be found by making measurements at small enough phase angles.
The album title refers to the average albedo value of the planet Earth as it was calculated in 1976 (the current value is 0.30). From the explanation on the back of the LP cover : "The reflecting power of a planet or other non-luminous body. A perfect reflector would have an Albedo of 100%. The Earth's Albedo is 39%, or 0.39".

Rubedo is a Latin word meaning "redness" that was adopted by alchemists to define the fourth and final major stage in their magnum opus. [1] Both gold and the philosopher's stone were associated with the color red, as rubedo signaled alchemical success, and the end of the great work. [ 2 ]
Other versions depict Ankou as the first dead person of the year (though he is always depicted as a male adult), charged with collecting others' souls before he can go to the afterlife. [4] In an alternate origin, he was a cruel prince who met Death during a hunting trip and challenged him to see who could kill a black stag first.
Cloud albedo is a measure of the albedo or reflectivity of a cloud. Clouds regulate the amount of solar radiation absorbed by a planet and its solar surface irradiance . Generally, increased cloud cover correlates to a higher albedo and a lower absorption of solar energy .
