Scientific paper
Results are reported for a bolometric determination of the relative brightness at a wavelength of 1 mm of Mercury, Venus, Mars, Jupiter, Saturn, Uranus, and Neptune. The relative measurements are converted to absolute temperatures by using a thermal model for Mars, which was checked by observations of Mars and Jupiter at two different epochs. The mean planetary disk temperatures are found to be 320 + or 16 K for Mercury, 276 + or - 14 K for Venus, 145 + or - 7 K for Saturn, 168 + or - 8 K for Jupiter, 87 + or - 7 K for Uranus, and 96 + or - 10 K for Neptune. These results are compared with previous determinations at other wavelengths, and some aspects of the observations of the individual planets are briefly discussed.
