Why does moon have temperature variation...

Why does moon have temperature variations e.g., from `-190^(@)C` to `110^(@)C` even though it is at the same distance from the sun as the earth is?

Text Solution

AI Generated Solution

To understand why the Moon experiences such extreme temperature variations, we can break down the explanation into the following steps: ### Step-by-Step Solution: 1. **Understanding Distance from the Sun**: - The Moon is at the same distance from the Sun as the Earth. This means both receive similar amounts of solar energy. 2. **Role of Atmosphere**: ...

The resistance of a thin metallic cylinder changes from 4.25 Omega "to" 4.75 Omega when its temperture is incrased from 10^@C "to 110^@C . Calculate the resistance of the same object when it is kept at temperature 0^@C . Also calculate the temperature coefficient of resistance.

The sun having surface temperature Ts radiates like a black body. The rasius of sun is Rs and earth is at a distance R from the surface of sun. Earth absorbs radiations falling on its surface from sun only and is at constant temperature T. If radiations falling on earth's surface are alomost parallel and earth also radiates like a blackbody, then

Assuming the Sun to be a spherical body of radius R at a temperature of TK, evalute the total radiant powerd incident of Earth at a distance r from the sun where r_0 is the radius of the Earth and sigma is Stefan's constant.

The solar constant is the amount of heat energy received per second per unit area of a perfectly black surface placed at a mean distance of the Earth form the Sun, in the absence of Earth's atmosphere, the surface being held perpendicular to the direction of Sun's rays. Its value is 1388 W//m^(2) . If the solar constant for the earth is 's'. The surface temperature of the sun is TK,D is the diameter of the sun, R is the mean distance of the Earth from the sun. The sun subtends a small angle 'theta' at the earth. Then correct options is/are:-
