Gabriel D. Velasquez (- van Diest)<br /> |
|
|
DOB: July 11, 1969<br /> |
|
|
POB: Santiago, Chile<br /> |
|
|
Home: Winnipeg, Manitoba, Canada<br /><br /> |
|
|
Interests/Hobbies:<br /> |
|
|
Planetology, Extrasolar Planets, Habitable moons, Astrophysics, Climatology, Cosmochemistry.<br /> |
|
|
I enjoy photography, nature and wildlife.<br /> |
|
|
I am also artistic and creative.<br /> |
|
|
I started on this learning adventure because of the lack of any good freeware random solar system generators.<br /> |
|
|
After I wrote "The 101 errors of Stargen" I found I had the time to help with exposition on real planets.<br /> |
|

|
Some non-original-research using known values and basic algebra:<br /> |
|
|
I disagree that the figures at ] are accurate, <br />I've read various different quotation of the value. A little accuracy wouldn't hurt:<br /> |
|
|
R= 6.96e8 Km (Sun's radius)<br /> |
|
|
T= 5780 °K (Sun's photosphere or Effective temperature)<br /> |
|
|
a= 5.6704e-8 (Stefan-Boltzmann Constant)<br /> |
|
|
d= 149597876600 meters (Earth's average distance, Mariner 10), 1 AU<br /> |
|
|
f= flux or Insolation.<br /> |
|
|
L= 4pi·R2aT4 = 4pi·d2f<br /> |
|
|
Therefore, f=(R2aT4) / d2<br /> |
|
|
Then ((6.96e8 Km)2 (5.6704e-8) (5780°K)4) / (149597876600)2 = 1369.912 W/m2<br /> |
|
|
This is the average. If you factor in the Earths's eccentricity, then the range is 1325.278 W/m2 to 1416.839 W/m2<br /> |
|
|
:If I recalculate using more accurate figures, using ((695950000)^2*(0.000000056704)*(5778^4) )/(149597876600^2), then I get 1367.8204 W/m2, which is only off by 0.1333% The so called satellite mesured solar constant. GabrielVelasquez (talk) 01:49, 1 January 2008 (UTC) |
