Physics

  1. The closest distance between the sun and Mercury isdm = 4.6 x 1010m. What is the intensity ofthe sun’s light at Mercury?
  2. Mercury has a radius of rmer = 2.4 x106m. How much power from the sun hits Mercury?
  3. Use the climate model to calculate the average temperature ofMercury, given a reflectivity of a = 0.07.
  4. At this distance, the temperatures reach 700 K during the dayat the equator.   How does this compare to yourprediction? What could account for the discrepancy?
