Appearance of Planet Spectrum
   A demonstration showing how various stellar and planetary properties affect the appearance of a planet's spectrum. The planet here is airless (so there is no Greenhouse Effect included). The temperature specified for the planet (in green) is a surface average. For more information on how each parameter affects the planet spectrum, click on Temperature, Luminosity, Distance, Albedo or Rotation.
