The Stefan-Boltzmann Law relates the emissive power of a blackbody to its surface temperature. The Earth’s long-wave emission is about 244 W m^-2. Assuming the Earth is a blackbody, calculate the surface temperature of the Earth. Show your workings.
F = σT^4
T = temperature in Kelvin
F = emitted energy
σ = Stefan-Boltzmann constant (5.67x10^-8 W m^-2 K^-4)

Explanation:
Stefan-Boltzmann law, statement that the total radiant heat power emitted from a surface is proportional to the fourth power of its absolute temperature. ... The law applies only to blackbodies, theoretical surfaces that absorb all incident heat radiation.
