re: Starting different thread

What do you mean by "It indicate Mars doesn't have greenhouse affect. "? I don't see a mention of greenhouse at all, there.

Quote:
"And yet the observed average surface temperature on Earth and Venus significantly exceeds the effective radiative temperature set by the incoming solar radiation. This is not observed for the Moon or Mars. What makes Venus and Earth so different?"

And table above it [the table I mentioned]. It's hard to copy the table, but here goes:

solar constant albedo solar day Teff Tave Difference
"Mercury 9127 0.12 176 434 ? ?
Venus 2615 0.75 117 232 737 505
Earth 1367 0.306 1 255 288 33
Moon 1367 0.11 29.53 270 253 -17
Mars 589 0.25 1.03 210 210 0

So if you cand read chart it shows 33 for Earth, -17 for Moon and 0 for Mars [and unknown for Mercury]
