What Is Thermal Emittance?

What is Solar Reflectance?

What is Solar Reflectance? Solar reflectance represents the fraction of incident solar radiation that is reflected by a surface, expressed as a value between 0 and 1 (or as a percentage). This property encompasses reflection across the entire solar spectrum, including ultraviolet, visible, and near-infrared wavelengths. Key Points Solar reflectance measures a material's ability to reflect solar radiation, which is critical for energy efficiency and thermal management in aerospace applications ...
