Hannah is writing a report on how albedo affects the global climate. she’s proofreading her passage for any factual errors. which sentence must hannah correct before submitting her report? earth receives energy from the sun. this energy drives many of the processes on earth, including its climate. some part of this energy is reflected by earth’s surface. we use the term albedo to describe the reflected energy. albedo of an object is the ratio of the reflected radiation to the total radiation reaching the object. a value of 0 means no energy is absorbed by the object, whereas a value of 1 means that all of the energy is absorbed. in this way, the albedo of an object can influence earth’s atmospheric temperature.

Harvey kept a balloon with a volume of 348 milliliters at 25.0˚c inside a freezer for a night.  when he took it out, its new volume was 322 milliliters, but its pressure was the same.  if the final temperature of the balloon is the same as the freezer’s, what is the temperature of the freezer? the temperature of the freezer is  kelvins.
