Alright, environmental enthusiasts, today we're diving into the mesmerizing world of clouds and a cool concept called "albedo". Imagine you're looking up at the sky, gazing at the fluffy or wispy clouds. Ever wondered how they interact with the sun's rays or, more scientifically put, insolation? If not, get ready for a light (pun intended) bulb moment!

Key terms

  • Insolation: It's like the sun's VIP pass, short for 'incoming solar radiation'. It's basically all the sun's energy that reaches our planet.
  • Albedo: The solar version of a boomerang. It measures how much of that VIP pass (insolation) gets bounced back into space.
