Question: Estimate the average temperature that a planet would have if it has no atmosphere and albedo has an of 4 0 % ( Solar Constant

Estimate the average temperature that a planet would have if it has no atmosphere and albedo has an of 40%( Solar Constant =1366W/M2, Radius of the Planet =6.38x10^5m, Stefan -Boltzmann Constant =5.67x10^-8Js^-1m^-2K^-4) Radiation Laws
Stefan-Boltzmann Law: Each black body object emits
radiation according to the 4 th power of its temperature.
Unit area emission
=5.6710-5Js-1m-2K-4E=T4
Wien's Law: Wavelenght corresponding to the emitted
maximum energy is inversely proportional with the
temperature.
max=bT
