This applet uses graphs to demonstrate the effective temperature of planets. The graphs display temperature versus distance from the sun. The albedo, solar constant, and distance can be adjusted. There are marks at each of the locations of the solar system planets. The axes can be in linear or logarithmic form; the temperature can be displayed in Kelvin, Fahrenheit, or Celsius.
