We recently published a list of 10 VLEO Technology Stocks and Startups to Watch in 2025. In this article, we are going to ...

Using remote sensing, researchers from China and the United States have quantified the effects of solar farms (SFs) on albedo, vegetation, and land surface temperature (LST). Namely, they have ...

The amount of radiation reflected is known as albedo. Having lots of fresh snow increases albedo because the sun penetrates into the powder, reflecting off the small, newly fallen crystals.
