How is the distance from the sun for planets in our solar system related to the mean temperature of each planet?

The number N of atoms in a particular state is called the population of that state. This number depends on the energy of that state and the temperature. In thermal equilibrium,the population of atoms in a state of energy En is given by a Boltzmann distribution expression N = Nge-(En-Eg)/kBTwhere Ng is the population of the ground state of energy Eg , kB is Boltzmann’s constant, and T is the absolute temperature. For simplicity, assume each energy level has only one quantum state associated with it. (a) Before the power is switched on, the neon atoms in a laser are in thermal equilibrium at 27.0°C. Find the equilibrium ratio of the populationsof the states E4* and E3 shown for the red transition in the figure. Lasers operate by a clever artificial production of a “population inversion” between the upper and lower atomic energy states involved in the lasing transition. This term means that more atoms are in the upper excitedstate than in the lower one.…
