The surface temperature of the sun is about 5800 K. The radii of the earth and the sun are 6.40x106 m and 6.95x108 m, respectively. The earth is 1.49x1011 m from the sun. Calculate the blackbody temperature of the earth assuming the earth is in steady state with the power absorbed versus power emitted.

1. The "surface" of the Sun is not sharp boundaries like the surface of the Earth. Most of the radiation that the Sun emits is in thermal equilibrium with the hot gases that make up the Sun's outer layers. Without too much error, we can treat sunlight as blackbody radiation. The total power radiated by the Sun is 3.87×1026W. Given the radius of the Sun is 6.96×108m, what is the surface temperature of the Sun? Suppose the temperature of the...
