The windows on the Apollo Command Module were double-paned tempered silica glass with an additional amorphous-fused silicon layer outside. Consider the heat flow through one of these windows as though it was a regular double-paned window that we use down here on Earth. A side window on the Apollo command module was a 15-in × 15-in square, consisting of two layers of glass separated by 0.05-in of air. Neglect the heat flow through the glass, and only consider the heat flow through the thickness of the air. What is the heat flow through this window over a span of 4.00 hours, given that the temperature inside the command module is kept at a constant 22.1◦C and the temperature of outer space is −545◦F?
In contrast to Venus, the coldest temperature yet measured on the surface of
any body in the solar system is -235°C. This temperature was detected by
Voyager 2 as it passed by Neptune's largest moon, Triton. What is Triton's
surface temperature in degrees Fahrenheit and in kelvins?
The warmest temperature in Antarctica was recorded at the Vanda Station on
the Scott Coast. On January 5, 1974 early summer in the southern
hemisphere-a high temperature of 15°C was reached. Express this
temperature in degrees Fahrenheit and kelvins.

The atmosphere of the planet Mars is 95.3% carbon dioxide (CO2) and about 0.03% water vapor. The atmospheric pressure is only about 600 Pa, and the surface temperature varies from -30°C to -100°C. The polar ice caps contain both CO2ice and water ice. Could there be liquid CO2 on the surface of Mars? Could there be liquid water? Why or why not?

- Climate change represents a global threat to the prosperity and security of humans and other species. An added element of uncertainty regarding Earth's climate future has to do with feedback loops in the climate system. One positive feedback is associated with the loss of glaciers, sea ice, and snow pack. Ice reflects about 90% of the radiant energy incident upon it, so the polar ice caps reflect significant amounts of solar energy. As the planet warms and surface ice is lost, the Earth becomes less reflective, absorbs more energy from the sun and thus heats up more rapidly. A negative climate feedback is associated with the amount of energy that Earth loses to space. As the planet warms the Stefan-Boltzmann law indicates that it will radiate more energy.
