- Swizec 4y agoFrom GP: > Traditional asphalt has a low albedo, which means it reflects radiation poorly and instead absorbs it Seems like a pretty good high level explanation of why that matters. Darker objects absorb energy instead of reflecting it. I'm sure there's more to it than that when you get into details.
