When rays of light fall on any surface, some part them it gets reflected in accordance with the rules of reflection. This process is called reflection of light. This amount of reflection depends on the smoothness of the surface. The ratio of the amount of radiation reflected back to space, to the incident radiation (insolation) is called the Earth’s Albedo. Generally, the process of reflection of the sunlight received by the surface is called Albedo.
