B.2.4—Earth’s albedo variation Topic Practice

IB Physics syllabusPhysics SL/HLFirst assessment 2025
Practise explaining why Earth's albedo is an average quantity by linking it to changing location, cloud cover, season and surface conditions.
How this is tested
- select valid reasons for albedo variation, such as latitude, cloud cover, season or surface type
- distinguish factors that change local solar input or reflectivity from statements that do not affect Earth's albedo
