  "term": "Reflectance",
  "field": "Meteorology and atmospheric science",
  "definition": "The ratio of the radiant flux reflected by a surface to the radiant flux incident upon it. This dimensionless quantity indicates how much incident electromagnetic radiation, such as sunlight, is bounced off a material. Reflectance varies with the wavelength of radiation and the properties of the surface, such as its color, texture, and moisture content.",
