What does reflectance mean?
The property of a surface that reflects light, or the amount of light that is reflected by a surface. In physics, reflectance is a measure of how much light is reflected by a surface, compared to the amount of light that hits it.
Example
"The reflectance of the white paint was very high, making it appear bright and shiny in the sunlight."
