Adding Albedo and Atmospheres
LoPresto, Michael C.
Physics Teacher, v51 n3 p152-153 Mar 2013
In a previous article in this journal, we reported on a laboratory activity in which students used a derivation from the Stefan-Boltzmann law to calculate planetary temperatures and compare them to measured values from various (mostly online) sources. The calculated temperatures matched observed values very well with the exceptions of Venus and the dwarf planet Pluto. (Contains 1 table and 2 figures.)
