Solar constant and greenhouse effect

This device allows to determine through a comparative approach and simple calculations: - solar power at ground level - solar energy received per unit of surface is a function of the distance from the sun - albedo based on the reflection characteristics of the ground - the greenhouse effect The device is oriented towards the sun, after 10 minutes of exposure, a precision thermometer measures the temperature rise of the metal block. The details of the experiments are illustrated in the instructions.

Composition:
- 1 reversible metal block to achieve 2 albedo values
- 1 transparent filter to highlight the greenhouse effect
- 1 insulated case 6 x 4.5 x 4.5 cm with support
