Are you guys serious? You're all wrong about everything! That's earth and our intense atmospheric pressure condenses hydrogen atmosphere into a metal.

This is very simple to answer.

Let's start with Earth's energy budget. We get 1360 watts per meter squared of energy from the sun. By definition we are 1 AU from the sun. This simplifies the math. Mars is 1.524 AU from the sun.

Inverse square law states that therefore Mars receives 1 divided by the square of the distance or 585.6 watts per meter squared of Energy from the sun. The albedo of Mars is .29.

Plug that into the steffan-boltzmann equation to get the temperature of Mars.

We get 206.9 degrees Kelvin (-65.2 degrees C).

The actual average temperature of Mars is -55 degrees C. The greenhouse effect on Mars is therefore about 10 degrees.

We can use this for all the planets. Pluto is especially interesting because it has no atmosphere.

How about Venus? This one is especially interesting.

I made a simple excel spreadsheet to simplify things.

All we need is the distance in AU and the planet's albedo. Venus's albedo is .75. It is incredibly reflective.

231.9 degrees K or -40 degrees C. Venus is colder than Earth. By a lot. The actual temperature of Venus is 735 degrees C. The greenhouse effect on Venus is 775 degrees.

For reference Pluto is 37.23 degrees K

According to Nasa Pluto's blackbody radiation is 37.5. Nailed it

What's that in Fahrenheit?

anon, are you retarded?

The highly charged particles of the van allen belt render the earth hotter than venus to an external observer sir.

You DO realize that the point of the exercise is to show the greenhouse effect for the planets as OP asked, yes?

The greenhouse effect on Venus is 775 degrees C which causes that 231 kelvin to become a huge 735 degrees C.

If you insist on someone else showing you the math, here you go.

for specifically the Earth's energy budget.

This is why we were shocked when we learned that the temperature of Venus is so high. Because of it's high reflectivity it should be lower than the Earth but it's not. It was on Venus, not on Earth, that the greenhouse effect was discovered.

Sorry buddy, I meant to quote the other guy.

Sorry for the wait, I don't usually convert to Fahrenheit. I live in the US though so I'm used to it.

Earth's radiating temperature is .288 degrees Fahrenheit. It's actual temperature is 59 degrees Fahrenheit. The greenhouse effect on Earth is about 59 degrees (we would be frozen without it)

Mars's radiating temperature is -85 degrees Fahrenheit. It's actual temperature is -67 degrees. It's greenhouse effect is about 18 degrees.

Venus's radiating temperature is -40 degrees Fahrenheit. It's actual temperature is 1355 degrees. It's greenhouse effect is 1395 degrees.
