No. Whatever made you think that? Plank's Law is a general law that is independent of size, which you would have noticed right away if you had looked at those links you posted. Black body spectral radiation depends on temperature only. It's a pretty basic rule well-covered in undergrad classes. It's certainly discussed in high school, too. It applies to stars, black holes galaxies, galaxy clusters---even the universe as a whole. It certainly applies to tiny objects like planets. -- My years on the mudpit that is Usnenet have taught me one important thing: three Creation Scientists can have a serious conversation, if two of them are sock puppets.

The Greenhouse hypothesis (radiative energy transport theory) works best on the moon where there is no atmosphere. In Greenhouse theory, the thermodynamic properties of atmospheres are ignored only its optical properties are considerd. How often are we told about "heat trapping greenhouse gases"? A gas is subject to convenction and cannot "trap heat". Greenhouse theory is a hoax

A gas is subject to convenction and cannot >"trap heat". Greenhouse theory is a hoax Convection accelerates heat transfer, but not infinitely. The claim that "A gas is subject to convenction and cannot trap heat" is almost completely wrong. The primary mode of transfer from earth's surface to space is still primarily radiation. You can judge this yourself by comparing the outside temperature after both clear and cloudy nights. Clear nights are much colder as clouds tend to reflect heat back to the surface. Besides, most heat is stored in the ocean and does not convect to outer space. As an aside, are JustAGuy and the others real persons? He sounds like one of those hired pnoney "grass roots" commenters. I've known devout and hyper-annoying Evangelical Christians who did not match that tone of superciliousness. Am I smelling a sock puppet? -- My years on the mudpit that is Usnenet have taught me one important thing: three Creation Scientists can have a serious conversation, if two of them are sock puppets.

There are three types of people that you can_not_talk_into_behaving_well. The stupid, the religious fanatic, and the evil. 1- The stupid aren't smart enough to follow the logic of what you say. You have to tell them what is right in very simple terms. If they do not agree, you will never be able to change their mind. 2- The religious fanatic: If what you say goes against their religious belief, they will cling to that belief even if it means their death. 3- There is no way to reform evil- not in a million years. There is no way to convince the anthropogenic_global_warming_alarmists, the terrorists, serial killers, paedophiles, and predators to change their evil ways, They knew what they were doing was wrong, but knowledge didn't stop them. It only made them more careful in how they went about performing their evil deeds. |
