With Hapke scattering theory and absorption coefficients derived from our laboratory measurements of solid N2 we have modeled the spectrum of Triton. By comparing a Hapke scattering model to the measured spectrum from Triton, we determined the temperature of the N2 on the satellite's surface to be 38 (+2, -1) K which is in accord with the measurements of Voyager 2. Applying this technique to Pluto we find that the temperature of N2 on that body is 40 +/- 2 K. Other aspects of this investigation are discussed.
