The Stefan-Boltzmann Law says that the light radiated from a perfect radiator ("blackbody") is proportional to the temperature raised to the fourth power:

  where σ is the Stefan-Boltzmann constrant (σ = 5.67 x 10-8 in MKS units)

In equilibrium, F coming in equals F going out. At Mars' distance from the Sun, F coming in is 153 in MKS units.

What is the blackbody temperature for Mars at a distance of 1.524 AU from the Sun?
