§ |
The Stefan-Boltzmann Law
|
|
|
The energy flux emitted by a
blackbody
|
|
|
is related to the fourth
power of the body’s
|
|
|
absolute temperature
|
|
|
F = sT4 where s
is 5.67x10-8 W/m2/K
|
|
|
§ |
Energy emitted from the Earth
|
|
|
= (blackbody emission) x (total
area of Earth)
|
= (sTe4 ) x (4p R2Earth )
