Changes in atmospheric turbidity. Dust and other foreign particles floating in the atmosphere may have an important influence on the albedo of the atmosphere. Solar radiation is reflected and scattered by these particles and some of it is returned to space without being absorbed by the atmosphere or Earth. These particles enter the atmosphere primarily by human activity, wind erosion of desiccated areas, and volcanic action. 4, record 3, English, - atmospheric%20turbidity
