Use a simple zero-dimensional energy-balance model without atmosphere to estimate Venus’s average tem perature, (a) ignoring reflection and (b) assuming an albedo of 0.75. Venus is 108 million kilometers from the Sun, versus Earth’s 150 million kilometers. Hint Because sunlight intensity falls as the inverse square of the distance, the solar constant at Venus is a factor of (150/108)2 larger than at Earth
