the average temperature at the earth's surface is 14°c. what is this temperature in kelvin?
use your answer from q17 and the stefan-boltzmann equation to calculate how much power each square meter of the earth's surface radiates. give your answer in w/m2. round to the nearest w/m2.
in what part of the electromagnetic spectrum does the earth radiate light? answer in a single word (no numbers).
consider your answers to the previous three questions. if the surface of the earth is radiating that much energy, why do we not see the ground glowing? answer in 1-2 sentences.
