Template:Surface temperature
37.5
Usage[edit]
This template calculates the average surface temperature of a spherical body situated at the distance r from the Sun, having geometrical albedo pv and the phase integral q:
.
where Teff =54.8 K. The template should be used in the following way:
{{Surface temperature|r|pv|q}},
where r is distance in AU, and pv and q are expressed as fractions. The result is expressed in K.
Example (average temperature of Quaoar). r=43.6 AU, pv=0.199 and q =0.8:
Temperature=40.5 K.
