Scientific paper

The equilibrium surface temperature of a planet in the presence and in the absence of an atmosphere is considered. An extremely simple model for the planet's optical properties (where the absorption coefficient is unity in the chosen region of the spectrum and zero outside this region) makes it possible to easily describe the greenhouse and antigreenhouse effect of the atmosphere and the dependence of the equilibrium temperature on the critical wavelength. It is shown that a stepwise model of the atmosphere's absorption spectrum gives accurate values for the average surface temperature of the earth and Mars.
