How does this affect the way that the earth absorbs energy from the sun? What is meant by albedo? How would this affect the energy absorbed by the earth?
As the Ice caps melt, they dilute the seawater around them and change the specific heat capacity of the surrounding sea.

albedo means reflecting ability
Explanation:
Moon reflects 12% of the incoming Sun light..Its albedo is 0.12.
Earth's albedo varies from .3 to .4.More heat is reflected back means Earth holds moire heat.So surface temperature and atmospherics temperature goes up./So albedo affect the climate.changing cloud formations, change in ice formations in polar area is the reason for change in Earth's albedo.
