Task 3: Here, explore the effects of the Greenhouse Factor (GHF) on your chosen planet. The GHF is a shortcut method of parameterizing the effects of gases on Earth’s surface temperature. ( I choose Mars)
1. What is the temperature of your planet if GHF =1.0? (1 mark)
2. At what value of the GHF will the temperature of this planet be comparable to that of Earth (15oC)? (Note: On some planets, you will not be able to obtain a temperature comparable to Earth! If you find this is the case with your chosen planet, provide a brief explanation why.) (2 marks)
