The author was provided an opportunity to continue their research on stellar and planetary thermal radiation, which they had previously pursued in 1921. The aim of this endeavor was to obtain insights into these celestial bodies' spectral energy distribution and effective temperatures and contribute to the broader understanding of the thermal properties of the planets, the moon, and certain types of stars. The findings suggest that the outer atmosphere of Jupiter does not gain sufficient heat to noticeably emit long wavelength radiation. What's more, the intensity of this low wavelength (7 to 12 micrometer) radiation increases as the density of the surrounding atmosphere decreases. This book will appeal to astronomy enthusiasts, scientists, and anyone seeking to broaden their knowledge of our solar system and the methods used to study it.
