Answer:
The extent of greenhouse effect on mars is [tex]G_m = 87 K[/tex]
Explanation:
From the question we are told that
The albedo value of Mars is [tex]A_1 = 0.15[/tex]
The albedo value of Mars is [tex]A_2 = 0.15[/tex]
The surface temperature of Mars is [tex]T_1 = 220 K[/tex]
The surface temperature of Venus is [tex]T_2 = 700 K[/tex]
The distance of Mars from the sun is [tex]d_m = 2.28*10^8 \ km = 2.28*10^8* 1000 = 2.28*10^{11} \ m[/tex]
The distance of Venus from sun is [tex]d_v = 1.08 *10^{8} \ km = 1.08 *10^{8} * 1000 = 1.08 *10^{11} \ m[/tex]
The radius of the sun is [tex]R = 7*10^{8} \ m[/tex]
The energy flux is [tex]E = 6.28 * 10^{7} W/m^2[/tex]
The solar constant for Mars is mathematically represented as
[tex]T = [\frac{E R^2 (1- A_1)}{\sigma d_m} ][/tex]
Where [tex]\sigma[/tex] is the Stefan's constant with a value [tex]\sigma = 5.6*10^{-8} \ Wm^{-2} K^{-4}[/tex]
So substituting values
[tex]T = \frac{6.28 *10^{7} * (7*10^8)^2 * (1-0.15)}{(5.67 *10^{-8}) * (2.28 *10^{11})^2)}[/tex]
[tex]T = 307K[/tex]
So the greenhouse effect on Mars is
[tex]G_m = T - T_1[/tex]
[tex]G_m = 307 - 220[/tex]
[tex]G_m = 87 K[/tex]
