31.Which among the following has the highest albedo? [A] Forests [B] Deserts [C] Fresh snow [D] Land surface Show Answer
The desert albedo is about 0.30. Bright snow and ice reflect sunlight into space. Albedo for snow and ice is between 0.6 and 0.9. Water can have the highest albedo (nearly 1.0) when it is perfectly calm, completely free of waves, and the sun hits it at a very shallow angle.
