Albedo is not expressed in any units but on a scale from 0 to 1. A pure white object would be 1 while completely black object (e.g. [[black hole]]) would have a value of zero.  It is an important concept in climate change discussions where the albedo of the earth affects the amount of light and heat reflected back in to space.
