Stellar Temperature Parameter
   The stellar temperature will affect the color of the star and thus the appearance of the "reflected sunlight" peak in the spectrum. Increasing the stellar temperature will cause the "reflected sunlight" peak to move to smaller wavelengths in accordance with Wein's Law.
   The planet in this demonstration reflects all wavelengths with the same efficiency (note how the color of the planet in the "Visible Appearance" display matches the color of the star). This means that changing the stellar temperature without changing the luminosity will not affect the energy absorption or planet surface temperature here (so the infrared peak will remain unchanged).
