Ceres’ (Dwarf planet) Without-Atmosphere Mean Surface Temperature calculation Tmean =237,4 K
Tmean.ceres
So = 1.362 W/m² (So is the Solar constant)
Ceres’ albedo: a.ceres = 0,090±0,0033 (V-band) Geometric
R = 2,77 AU semi-major axis (distance from sun in astronomical units)
1/R² = 1/2,77² = 1/7,673 = 0,13033
Ceres’ sidereal rotation period is 9,074 h
Ceres does N = 24/9,074 = 2,645 rotations per day
Ceres’ surface irradiation accepting factor Φceres = 1
Ceres' surface is water ice and hydrated minerals, such as carbonates and clay. Ceres can be considered as water ice surface planet.
Cp = 1 cal/gr*oC
β = 150 days*gr*oC/rotation*cal – it is the Planet Surface Solar Irradiation INTERACTING-Emitting Universal Law constant
σ = 5,67*10⁻⁸ W/m²K⁴, a Stefan-Boltzmann constant
Ceres' Without-Atmosphere mean surface temperature equation Tmean.ceres is
Tmean.ceres = [ Φ (1-a) So (1/R²) (β*N*cp)¹∕ ⁴ /4σ ]¹∕ ⁴
Τmean.ceres = { 1*(1-0,09)*1.362 W/m² *0.13033*[150 *2,645*1]¹∕ ⁴ /4*5,67*10⁻⁸ W/m²K⁴ }¹∕ ⁴ =
= (3.176.345.599,84)¹∕ ⁴ = 237,4 K
Tmean.ceres = 237,4 K
