Question at position 24 What percentage of the Sun's energy that reaches Earth is reflected (as visible light) back into space? 6603095

Question

BlackTom AI · Accepted Answer

The question asks about the fraction of sunlight that Earth reflects back into space in the visible spectrum. 
Option 66: This is too high for the planet’s average albedo in visible light. Earth’s overall albedo is commonly cited around 0.30, not near two-thirds of incoming light. 
Option 0: Saying 0% would imply Earth reflects nothing, which is false since Earth clearly appears bright from space and has measurable reflectivity due to clouds, ice, and deserts. 
Option 30: This matches the well-established Earth albedo value of about 0.30 in visible light, meaning roughly 30% of the Sun’s energy reaching Earth is reflected back to space. 
Option 95: A 95% reflectivity is far higher than observed for Earth in the visible spectrum; such a value would imply an almost mirror-like planet, which is not the case. 
In summary, among the given choices, 30% is the widely accepted estimate for the fraction of visible light reflected by Earth back into space, corresponding to its average albedo.
