Asked by Set6
The tropospheric lapse rate (the rate at which temperature decreases with altitude) is approximately 6°C per kilometer. Given that the mean surface temperature of Earth is 288 K and the effective radiating temperature is 255K, from what altitude does most of the emitted radiation derive?
