Question:
Reflected light by the moon is diffuse, meaning that we can best model it as the bright side of the moon first absorbing sunlight, and then \"emitting\" the reflected part again. The albedo of the Moon is 0.12; the distance between the Moon and the Earth is 385E6m. The radius of the Moon is 1740km.
Take the distance from the Sun to the Moon as the same as the Sun to Earth.
A) Calculate the average temperature of the side of the Moon that is facing the Sun.
B) What is the strength of Moon light on Earth in Full Moon conditions, W/m2? Compare this to the strength of Sunlight if it falls in straight from the top.
