Planet Albedo Parameter
The albedo measures the fraction of the incoming energy that is reflected by the planet. Increasing the albedo
will increase the "reflected sunlight" peak in the spectrum.
An increase in the albedo also means that there will be less energy absorbed and this will cause the surface temperature of the planet
to decrease. This means the infrared peak will become smaller AND to move to longer wavelengths (in accordance with Wein's
Law).
In the "Visible Appearance" display, increasing the planet albedo will make the planet visually "brighter".
