Question

What radiative full emitted by the sun is absorbed by Jupiter ? Sun-Earth distance is 1AU=1.58E8 km, Sun- Jupiter distance is 5.2AU, Jupiter radius is 69900 km, planetary albedo is 0.52. Earth solar constant S=1380 W/m^2

Expert Solution

Step 1: basics

Given,

Sun-Earth distance is 1AU=1.58E8 km,Sun- Jupiter distance is 5.2AU,

Jupiter radius is 69900 km,

planetary albedo is 0.52

Earth solar constant S=1380 W/m^2

Calculate the Solar Constant at Jupiter's distance:

$S subscript j space space equals space space S over left parenthesis r subscript j u p i t e r end subscript divided by r subscript e a r t h end subscript right parenthesis squared space space$

where $Error converting from MathML to accessible text.$ is the Solar Constant at Earth's orbit and $r_{Jupiter}$ and $r_{Earth}$ are the distances of Jupiter and Earth from the Sun respectively.
