Question

If Titan could be moved out to the orbit of Neptune would its atmosphere freeze into solid nitrogen? The formula to estimate the blackbody radiation temperature in Kelvin is:

where α is the albedo at 0.3, L the luminosity is 1.5 Watts/meter2, σ , the Stefan Boltzmann constant is 5.67 X10-8 W/m2/K. What would be the temperature and would the atmosphere freeze out if the freezing point of N2 gas 63 K?

answer choices
 
63 K, maybe
75 K, no
46 K, yes
103 K, no
L(1 — а)
T =
4
40
Transcribed Image Text:L(1 — а) T = 4 40
