什么是 Faint young Sun problem?
The faint young Sun problem is the contradiction between the models of the Sun, which make it 25 to fainter ago, and the rocks, which show liquid water and an active water cycle through the Archean: with today’s atmosphere and albedo the early Earth should have been frozen.
示例
Example 18.13 (The greenhouse of the young Earth)
To keep under the Sun of ago with today’s albedo, the absorbed sunlight is , so the effective emissivity must fall to , against 0.616 today: the share of the surface’s emission trapped by the greenhouse must rise from 0.384 to 0.544.
