Earth albedo calculated from Skylab flight data when correlated with latitude falls within the range of values obtained from previous investigations. The Skylab data ranged between latitudes of plus or minus 50 degrees. Seasonal variations show higher values for the winter months and lower values for the summer months. Surface geometry and orbit altitude had little effect on the orbit averaged albedo which was a function of orbit inclination, solar declination, and beta angle. A range of values is presented as a function of orbit inclination.
