What is emission temperature of the sunlit side of ribbon

Reference no: EM13339009

Imagine a giant circular ribbon of superstrong material that circles a star. The width of the ribbon normal to a radius vector originationg at the star's center is much greater than the thickness of the ribbon in the radial direction. The width of the ribbon is much less than the distance of the ribbon from the star, however, If the diameter of the ribbon is the same as Earth's sun, and the albedo of the ribbon is 0.3, what is the emission temperature of the sunlit side of the ribbon? Consider both the case in which heat is conducted very efficiently from the sunlit to the dark side of the ribbon. Explain why your emission temperature is different from Earth's.
