Phase Integral

Let A be the albedo and p is the geometric albedo, then the phase integral is defined as

(1)

where is a unit of solid angle. If , then

(2)

The phase integral can be measured using Earth-based observations alone only for Mercury, Eric Weisstein's World of Astronomy Venus, Eric Weisstein's World of Astronomy and the Moon. Eric Weisstein's World of Astronomy
