What does ALBEDO mean?
Albedo (pronounced: al-BEE-do) is an Astronomical term for the amount of life reflected off a celestial object, 1 being 100%. For example: The planet Venus has an albedo of 0.75, which means it reflects 75% of the suns light that hits it. It’s actually one of the highest albedos of any planet or natural satellite (moon) in our solar system. That’s one of the reasons why Venus is the brightest object in our sky besides the sun and moon (The other is because it’s the closest planet to us). The reason why I chose this name is because I used to study Astronomy (I almost went into the field of Planetology) and Albedo has been a nickname of mine for many years, though we pronounce it differently.
