The planetary temperatures Comparison Criteria Tsat/Te


In planetary effective temperature equation (Te) the solar flux (S) is in fourth root.

We can rewrite Initial Premise for two identical spheres as:

Tmean1/Tmean2 = Te1/Te2


or, for two identical spheres

Tmean1/Te1 = Tmean2/Te2


Now, we extend this to two identical bodies, planets and moons, comparing their respective satellite measured temperatures Tsat1 and Tsat2 and write:

Tsat1/Te1= Tsat2/Te2


Therefore we have defined the planetary temperatures Comparison Criteria (Tsat/Te).


Important notice:

For two identical celestial bodies the

Tsat1/Te1= Tsat2/Te2


But if for two bodies

Tsat1/Te1= Tsat2/Te2


that doesn't necessarilly prove the bodies identical.
