| Apr 21, 2017 at 15:27 | comment | added | user21 | @CarlWitthoft I seek only truth, not karma. Although, I kinda suck at that too. Anyway, if someone, including the OP, wants to write up my comment, I'm fine with it. | |

| Apr 21, 2017 at 14:16 | comment | added | zephyr | @CarlWitthoft Maybe for you. There's no indication that the OP has the base knowledge to understand the underlying reasons (which are not clearly explained on wikipedia), hence why they're asking here. Wikipedia may describe the answer, but it is not clear for someone who doesn't know the physics/terminology/underlying principles. | |
| Apr 21, 2017 at 14:01 | comment | added | Carl Witthoft | I'm voting to close this question as off-topic because it takes less time to search wikipedia for the answer than to type it here in the first place. | |
| Apr 21, 2017 at 14:01 | comment | added | Carl Witthoft | @barrycarter that's the answer; why not post it as such & grab the karma? :-) | |

| Apr 21, 2017 at 1:44 | comment | added | user21 | en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Geometric_albedo may help; it may just mean light is reflected back to the source (like a mirror) instead of scattered in multiple directions (like a shiny but bumpy surface). | |
