2. Albedo - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Albedo

   Albedo (/ æ l ˈ b iː d oʊ / al-BEE-doh; from Latin albedo 'whiteness') is the fraction of sunlight that is diffusely reflected by a body. It is measured on a scale from 0 (corresponding to a black body that absorbs all incident radiation) to 1 (corresponding to a body that reflects all incident radiation).

3. Geometric albedo - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Geometric_albedo

   In astronomy, the geometric albedo of a celestial body is the ratio of its actual brightness as seen from the light source (i.e. at zero phase angle) ...

4. List of albedo features on Mercury - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_albedo_features_on...

   A 1934 map showing some of Mercury's albedo features. This is a list of the albedo features of the planet Mercury as seen by early telescopic observation. Early telescopic observations of Mercury were based on the assumption that Mercury keeps one of its faces permanently turned toward the Sun, through the mechanism of tidal locking. Although ...

5. Rendering (computer graphics) - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rendering_(computer_graphics)

   For real-time rendering, this value (or more commonly the irradiance, which does not depend on local surface albedo) can be pre-computed and stored in a texture (called an irradiance map) or stored as vertex data for 3D models. This feature was used in architectural visualization software to allow real-time walk-throughs of a building interior ...

6. Albedo (alchemy) - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Albedo_(alchemy)

   In alchemy, albedo, or leucosis, is the second of the four major stages of the Magnum Opus, along with nigredo, citrinitas and rubedo. [1] It is a Latinicized term meaning "whiteness". Following the chaos or massa confusa of the nigredo stage, the alchemist undertakes a purification in albedo, which is literally referred to as ablutio – the ...

7. Cloud albedo - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cloud_albedo

   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 .

8. Classical albedo features on Mars - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Classical_albedo_features...

   Classical albedo features on Mars, whose names date back to Schiaparelli (1888 map above), share some boundaries with more recent satellite observations. [4] Several Latin words involved here are common nouns. These are generally, but not always, second in the name, but are usually ignored in alphabetizing below: Campi (/ ˈ k æ m p aɪ ...
