Why does the ocean absorb the sun's infrared energy while snow and ice reflect it? PLS ANSWER :(

Albedo is the ability of a surface to reflect sunlight (solar radiation). Snow and ice have high albedo – much of the sunlight hitting surfaces covered with snow and ice bounces back. In contrast, dark earthy surfaces have a low albedo, therefore, they absorb more sunlight.
