True. The albedo of the North Pole is generally greater than that of land along the equator. Albedo refers to the reflectivity of a surface, with higher values indicating that more sunlight is reflected. The polar regions, particularly the North Pole, are often covered with ice and snow, which have high albedo values (reflecting a large portion of incoming solar radiation). In contrast, many equatorial land surfaces, such as forests and deserts, have lower albedo values as they absorb more sunlight.
