Re: my first moon shot

That�s something else, it�s the general description of the reflectivity 
of a planet.  I think it is 0.39 for earth.

I�m not sure that I agree Jostein that the albedo increases during 
winter.  I though we were able see the "Dark side of the moon" because 
of the clear, clean air and low sun during winter.

Earthshine = Earth albedo.

I don�t know the name in English, but translated from Norwegian it�s
called "ash light".
I think Earthshine is the English term.
Quite common indeed in northern-hemisphere winter season, when snow
increase
Earth's reflectivity.
