NASA | This World Is Black and White

The video explains the concept of Daisyworld, a theoretical planet with black and white daisies that influence the planet's temperature through their albedo. Black daisies absorb heat, warming the planet, while white daisies reflect heat, cooling it. This creates a feedback loop that maintains a stable climate. The video also compares these feedback loops to those on Earth, such as cloud formation and polar ice melt, highlighting the delicate balance required to sustain life.

What are the two types of daisies mentioned in the text?

Explain how the black daisies affect the temperature of Daisy World.

What is albedo and how does it relate to the white daisies?

Describe the feedback loop illustrated by the Daisy World model.

How does the concept of albedo apply to Earth's climate, as mentioned in the text?
