>'Langley himself in a later memoir showed that the full moon, which certainly does not possess any sensible heat-absorbing atmosphere, has a "mean effective temperature" of about 45 C.' This seems to be incorrect. The mean temperature of the moon is somewhere between 104-215K: >'The mean temperature at the equator is 215.5 K with an average maximum of 392.3 K and average minimum of 94.3 K ( Fig. 19 ), representing an average change in temperature of ∼300 K. Average maximum and minimum temperatures in the polar regions (poleward of 85 °) are 202 K and 50 K respectively with a mean average temperature 104 K.' http://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/pii/S0019103516304869 http://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/pii/S0019103516...
