The Bond albedo (also called spheric albedo, planetary albedo, and bolometric albedo), named after the American astronomer George Phillips Bond (1825–1865)...

albedo may be greater or smaller than the Bond albedo, depending on surface and atmospheric properties of the body in question. Some examples: Albedo...

Albedo (/ælˈbiːdoʊ/ al-BEE-doh; from Latin albedo 'whiteness') is the fraction of sunlight that is diffusely reflected by a body. It is measured on a...

of albedo such as the geometric albedo, which can be above 1. In general, though, the Bond albedo may be greater or smaller than the geometric albedo, depending...

temperatures less than about 150 K (−120 °C; −190 °F). The predicted Bond albedo of a class I planet around a star like the Sun is 0.57, compared with...

derive other albedo and scattering properties, such as the geometric albedo, the phase integral, and the Bond albedo. Albedo Geometric albedo Bidirectional...

remaining variables that must be determined are the Bond albedo and orbital distance of the planet. Bond albedos of exoplanets can be constrained by flux measurements...

The blue or silver appearance of the light is an illusion. The Moon's bond albedo averages 0.136, meaning only 13.6% of incident sunlight is reflected...

r^{2}}{4\pi a^{2}}},} where A {\displaystyle A\,\!} is the asteroid albedo (precisely, the Bond albedo), a {\displaystyle a\,\!} its semi-major axis, L ⊙ ≈ 3.827...

material, whereas the far-infrared observations constrained the bolometric bond albedo. The radar observations at the wavelength of 2.2 cm showed that the ice...

arcs may exist between the main rings. The rings are extremely dark—the Bond albedo of the rings' particles does not exceed 2%. They are probably composed...

atmosphere. It is also the basis for computing the geometrical albedo and the Bond albedo of the body. In ephemeris generation, the phase curve is used...

processes. Because Triton's Bond albedo is among the highest in the Solar System, it is sensitive to small variations in spectral albedo. Based on the increase...

concentrations of greenhouse gases and aerosols, and changes in surface albedo and solar irradiance. In more technical terms, it is defined as "the change...

planet is perfectly grey with no greenhouse or tidal effects, and a Bond albedo of 0.1, the temperature would be 1,265 K (992 °C; 1,817 °F). This is...

of the planet is a white-hot 3,250 K (2,980 °C; 5,390 °F) assuming a Bond albedo of 0.25, which, if confirmed, would make it the second-hottest exoplanet...

crater G. Bond on the Moon is named after him, as is the crater Bond on Mars. The Bond albedo, which is important for describing a planetary body's energy...

decreases from 53% at a phase angle of 0° (geometrical albedo) to 35% at an angle of about 1°. The Bond albedo of Ariel is about 23%—the highest among Uranian...

31% at a phase angle of 0° (geometrical albedo) to 22% at an angle of about 1°. Oberon has a low Bond albedo of about 14%. Its surface is generally red...
