Calculating Earth's temperature with a one-layer atmosphere

9 жыл бұрынIn the last video, we calculated what the temperature of the Earth would be if it didn't have an atmosphere. In this video, we add a simple atmosphere and see what happens.

The number of people in this comment section who don't understand the purpose of this model is wild lmao. I needed some help double checking my balancing for this model - much appreciated!

What is the conditions whereby up and down radiation is the same intensity?

I know these calculations are only an approximation, but I was wondering how the model changes if, say, all visible light is also absorbed.

can you please make a video on surface tempt if there are n number of layer?

The only energy radiated outward is from the high upper atmosphere where the atmospheric pressure is below 10KPa . Above the stratosphere the temperature is very cold and has no effect upon the temperature at the surface. Your radiative model explains nothing.

The video is IGNORING the gravitional potential energy! So all wrong. Dislike

The GPE of a photon in Earth's gravitational field is negligible. If it weren't, we'd need to account for it with gravitational redshift and blueshift. This would be significant for a neutron star, but not for a terrestrial planet. That only manifests as 3 parts per billion of the energy of light, for light in the visible spectrum.
