Answer: decrease; less

Step-by-step explanation:

Insolation, refers to the amount of solar radiation that is received by earth. If the surface of earth was white, the radiation, will be reflected back into space. This reflective activity of a white surface will in turn cause the temperature of the planet to drop as there would be less energy to be converted to heat.
