How much energy radiate Jupiter?
I tried to find it, but not found.
And how much energy it receive from Sun?

Did you find its surface temperature and the Stefan-Boltzmann law? Jupiter is not a black body, but its (infrared) albedo should be listed somewhere as well.Ans said:I tried to find it, but not found.
You can take the solar intensity at Earth and scale it to the distance and size of Jupiter - again with the (visible) albedo to get the absorbed fraction.Ans said:And how much energy it receive from Sun?
I know it can be done. However, such result would not be precise, because some area have lower temperature, because of night or hurricanes, some area with higher temperatues. So I guess such approach can give only order of magnitude estimation.mfb said:Did you find its surface temperature and the Stefan-Boltzmann law?

I did it before start post, and even calculated it in mind, without calculator :)mfb said:You can take the solar intensity at Earth and scale it to the distance and size of Jupiter - again with the (visible) albedo to get the absorbed fraction.
Jupiter radiates about 1.6 times more energy than it receives from the sun.
The majority of Jupiter's radiation comes from its internal heat, which is a result of its formation and ongoing gravitational compression.
Jupiter's radiation output is second only to the sun's, making it the most energy-producing planet in our solar system.
Yes, Jupiter's radiation can be damaging to spacecraft and electronics due to its intense magnetic fields and high levels of radiation.
Yes, Jupiter's radiation can be observed using specialized instruments such as infrared telescopes, which can detect the heat being radiated from the planet's surface and atmosphere.
