asterism.orgThere have been many exoplanets discovered in the past decade. Ignoring albedo and greenhouse effects, a formula for the effective temperature of an exoplanet is: 1 2 star exo star star diameter T xT distance = (9) Instead of effective temperatures, we might want to determine the maximum or sub-solar temperature of a body orbiting the Sun.
