Reflectance is a measure of how much light or other electromagnetic radiation is reflected by a surface compared to the amount that hits it. It is typically expressed as a percentage or a ratio between 0 and 1. A value of 0 means that no light is reflected (all light is absorbed), while a value of 1 means that all light is reflected.
