Determine the emission temperature
of the planet Venus. You may assume
the following: the mean radius of
Venus’ orbit is 0.72 times that of
the Earth’s orbit; the solar flux So
decreases as the square of the distance
from the Sun and has a value of
1367Wm?2 at the mean Earth orbit;
Venus’ planetary albedo = 0.77.

Do not solve the following question numerically unless specifically asked to do so. The flux from the Sun’s surface is given by L(sun)= 4πR(sun)^2 σT(sun)^4 , where T(sun) is the temperature on the Sun’s surface. (a) What Is the incident luminosity from the Sun seen on Earth’s surface? (b) Only a part of the luminosity incident on Earth’s surface is reflected back. The fraction of radiation reflected from Earth’s surface, or albedo, is given by A. The other part is...

You are embedded in the Kepler program in which planetary systems are being detected around other stars. You detect a possible planet in orbit around a star whose peak wavelength of radiation is 0.38 microns, which is considerably shorter than that of our Sun. Calculate the “goldilocks distance” for this system, the orbital distance from this star at which you would expect a planet to have a surface temperature of 0°C. (Assume the planet has an albedo of 0.3, and...

This is from Principles of Planetary Climate, Problem 1.13 The thick CO2 atmosphere of Venus is nearly opaque in the infrared, so observations of Venus in the infrared spectrum provide no direct information about the temperature of the ground. However, the atmosphere is nearly transparent to microwave radiation, so the microwave emission of the planet can be used to infer its surface temperature. Indeed, this is how it was inferred in the 1960s that the surface of the planet was...

Explore the dependence of sunlight on earth-sun distance. The solar constant, S_0 is the solar radiation at zero zenith angle at the mean earth-sun distance, R_m. As we learned in class the intensity of solar radiation decreases with the square of the distance. Use matlab to devise a function that calculates the daily averaged solar radiation as it depends on earth-sun distance (ignore seasonal changes in the sun's angle) through the course of one year. Use for the eccentricity the...
