One of the tallest buildings in the world is the Taipei 101 in Taiwan, at a height of 1671 feet. Assume that this height was measured on a cool spring day when the temperature was 16 ℃. You could use the building as a sort of a giant thermometer on a hot summer day by carefully measuring its height. Suppose you do this and discover that the Taipei 101 is 0.478 feet taller than its official height. What is the temperature of this summer day, assuming that the building is in thermal equilibrium with the air and that its entire frame is made of steel?

Mars also has an atmosphere, though it is a lot different than Earth's. Due to its atmosphere, Mars' surface temperature is 240 K (-33°C), and the surface emits 188 Wm. a. Calculate Mars' effective radiating temperature at the TOA. b. Calculate the greenhouse effect (the temperature difference) on Mars due to the presence of its atmosphere. c.
