Answer: Albedo

Step-by-step explanation:

Albedo can be defined as the term which is used to define the amount of light reflected by any substance. All the surface that is present around us either reflect light or absorb light.

The light colored substances reflects maximum amount of light falling on it and a dark colored substance absorbs most of the light falling on it.
