Highest albedo: LTT 9779 b: LTT 9779: 0.79 ± 0.15 [47] This is the value for western dayside region, with the overall albedo of dayside being 0.50 ± 0.07. [47] For comparison, Earth is 0.3 and Venus is 0.76. Lowest albedo TrES-2b: GSC 03549-02811: Geometric albedo < 1% [48] Best-fit model for albedo gives 0.04% (0.0004). [38] Youngest DH ...
When seen from a distance, the ocean surface has a low albedo, as do most forests, whereas desert areas have some of the highest albedos among landforms. Most land areas are in an albedo range of 0.1 to 0.4. [14] The average albedo of Earth is about 0.3. [15] This is far higher than for the ocean primarily because of the contribution of clouds.
The Kuiper quadrangle, located in a heavily cratered region of Mercury, includes the young, 55-km-diameter crater Kuiper (11° S., 31.5° ), which has the highest albedo recorded on the planet, [1] and the small crater Hun Kal (0.6° S., 20.0° ), which is the principal reference point for Mercurian longitude (Davies and Batson, 1975).
^ Calculated using the formula = / /, where T eff = 54.8 K at 52 AU, is the geometric albedo, q = 0.8 is the phase integral, and is the distance from the Sun in AU.
At last quarter, the Moon is about 0.06 mag fainter than at first quarter, because that part of its surface has a lower albedo. Earth's albedo varies by a factor of 6, from 0.12 in the cloud-free case to 0.76 in the case of altostratus cloud. The absolute magnitude in the table corresponds to an albedo of 0.434.
The Aloha State boasts the lowest overall property tax rate — 0.27%. But don’t get confused. Hawaii is still one of the most expensive states in the country to live in.
10 Major U.S. Cities With the Lowest Birth Rates Cities are ranked by the percent of women aged 15 to 50 who birthed a child in 2022 according to the U.S. Census Bureau. Seattle, WA
California will have the highest minimum wage rate for any state at $15.50, up from $15 in 2022. It raised its minimum wage to $14 in 2021 from $13, the result of a law mandating incremental ...
