- A. The planet Venus is different from the earth in several respects: (a) it is only 70 % as far from the sun, so the solar constant is 2800 W/m²; (b) its thick clouds reflect 77% of all incident sunlight and (c) its atmosphere is much more opaque to infrared light. B. (i) Estimate what the average surface temperature of Venus would be if it had no atmosphere and did not reflect any sunlight. (ii) Taking into account the reflectivity of the clouds, estimate the surface temperature. Use the theory of Earth's energy balance to discuss the greenhouse effect.arrow_forward1. Average atomic and molecular speeds (vrms) are large, even at low temperatures. What is vrms (in m/s) for helium atoms at 6.00 K, just two degrees above helium's liquefaction temperature? 2. The escape velocity from the Moon is much smaller than from Earth and is only 2.38 km/s. At what temperature (in K) would hydrogen molecules (molar mass is equal to 2.016 g/mol) have an average velocity vrms equal to the Moon's escape velocity? 3.Hydrogen molecules (molar mass is equal to 2.016 g/mol) have an average velocity vrms equal to 239 m/s.

(c) If this volume is a cube, what is the length of its sides in kilometers?arrow_forwardLet's stop ignoring the greenhouse effect and incorporate it into the previous problem in a very rough way. Assume the atmosphere is a single layer, a spherical shell around Earth, with an emissivity e 0.77 (chosen simply to give the light answer) at infrared wavelengths emitted by Earth and by the atmosphere. However, the atmosphere is transparent to the Sun's radiation (that is, assume the radiation is at visible wavelengths with no infrared), so the Sun's radiation leaches the surface. The greenhouse effect comes from the difference between the atmosphere transmission of visible light and its rather strong absorption of infrared. Note that the atmosphere's radius is not significantly different from Earth's, but since the atmosphere is a layer above Earth, it emits radiation both upward and downward, so it has twice Earth's area. There are three radiative energy transfers in this problem: solar radiation absorbed by Earth's surface; infrared radiation from the surface, which is absorbed by the atmosphere according to its emissivity; and infrared radiation from the atmosphere, half of which is absorbed by Earth and half of which goes out into space. Apply the method of the previous problem to get an equation for Earth 's surface and one for the atmosphere, and solve them for the two unknown temperatures, surface and atmosphere. a. In terms of Earth's radius, the constant , and the unknown temperature Ts of the surface, what is the power of the infrared radiation from the surface? b. What is the power of Earth 's radiation absorbed by the atmosphere? c. In terms of the unknown temperature Te of the atmosphere, what is the power radiated from the atmosphere? d. Write an equation that says the power of the radiation the atmosphere absorbs from Earth equals the of the radiation it emits. e. Half of the power radiated by the atmosphere hits Earth. Write an equation that says that the power Earth absorbs from the atmosphere and the Sun equals the power that it emits. f. Solve your two equations for the unknown temperature of Earth. For steps that make this model less crude, see for example (https://openstaxcollege.org/l/21paulgormlec) by Paul O'Gorrnan.arrow_forwardCeres is the largest asteriod in the Solar System.But with a mass of q.38 x 102º kg, a radius of 469.73 KM,and a maximum surface temperature of - 38.15°C it doesn't have enough gravity to keep an atmosphere.If the density of Ceres were to remain the same, what would its radius need to be (in kilometers) for itš escape velocity to the rms speed Of Hydrogen gas (H,) ot its maximum svrface temperature?arrow_forward
