Q

explain the albedo-effect and its role in the greenhouse effect

A

When sunlight hits the Earth, some surfaces, like ice and snow, reflect it back into space, like a mirror. This helps keep the Earth cool. But when surfaces, like dark forests or cities, absorb sunlight instead of reflecting it, they trap heat, making the Earth warmer.This absorbed energy warms the atmosphere and contributes to the greenhouse effect. So, the albedo effect can either help cool down the Earth or make it warmer, and this affects how strong the greenhouse effect is.
