Students have asked these similar questions
he rate at which radiant energy from the sun reaches the earth's upper atmosphere is about 1.50kW/m2. the distance from the earth to the sun is 1.50*1011 m, and the radius of the sun is 6.96x108 m. if the sun radiates as an ideal black body (e=1), what is the temperature of its surface?
The radiation energy (intensity of the radiation) reaching Earth from the sun at the top of the atmosphere is 1.36×103??2⁄, which is called the solar constant. Assuming that Earth absorb the total power coming from the Sun to the Earth and radiates with the emissivity of 0.8 (not ideal black body) at a uniform temperaturearound the Earth, what would the equilibrium temperature of Earth be?
Convert the following Kelvin temperatures to the Celsiusand Fahrenheit scales: (a) the midday temperature at the surface ofthe moon (400 K); (b) the temperature at the tops of the clouds in theatmosphereof Saturn (95 K); (c) the temperature at the center of the sun(1.55 * 107 K).
