Data obtained by the infrared radiometers on the Pioneer 10 and Pioneer 11 spacecraft, over a large range of emission angles, have indicated an effective temperature for Jupiter of 125 plus or minus 3 K. The implied ratio of planetary thermal emission to solar energy absorbed is 1.9 plus or minus 0.2, a value not significantly different from the earth-based estimate of 2.5 plus or minus 0.5.
