I know these kind of considerations. This calculation assume a uniform distribution of the temperature. For a mean temperature of about 15°C follows an influence of the atmosphere of about 33K. From my point of view, this is wrong, because the temperature of the Earth without the atmosphere is...

The mean temperatures are based on different datasets and evaluation methods. Therefore, a comparison is problematic. I use the following sources: https://www2.ucar.edu/climate/faq/what-average-global-temperature-now http://berkeleyearth.lbl.gov/auto/Global/Land_and_Ocean_complete.txt...

Data for the mean Earth temperatur: - For example, the average annual temperature for the globe between 1951 and 1980 was around 57.2 degrees Fahrenheit (14 degrees Celsius). (UCAR). - The global mean surface temperature is 14.46 °C computed from MODIS data (2001-2012). - Estimated Jan 1951-Dec...
