Question

question: which ratio is used to measure how much solar radiation a surface absorbs compared to how much it reflects? answer options: select one of four albedo ratio precipitation ratio positive feedback ratio atmospheric ratio

Explanation:

Albedo is defined as the ratio of the solar radiation reflected by a surface to the solar radiation incident on it, which can also be interpreted as related to the comparison of absorbed and reflected solar radiation (since absorbed = incident - reflected). Precipitation ratio relates to precipitation, positive feedback ratio to feedback mechanisms, and atmospheric ratio is not a standard term for this concept. So the correct option is Albedo ratio.

Answer:

A. Albedo ratio
