is that dangerous to aircraft?


Aircraft can safely fly over snow, which has albedo if 90%, so it's probably ok.


Only if the roof has a lens shape, otherwise it's the same light as what's coming from above which isn't harmful.


well, it's 98.1% of the same light, so technically, less harmful


If the roof scatters the light, probably not.

However if an entire downtown or subdivision does it? Possibly.
