well it isn't known now is it?At the bottom of the graph....see the line where it says T = (239.7 + 239.7) / (5.67 X 10^-8) = 303K
That is where it says precisely that...239.7 wm2 radiating up from the surface of the earth (239.7wm2 = radiating temperature of -18C) plus 239.7 wm2 radiating down from the atmosphere
Radiating up and radiating down don't get added together.
Radiating down from the Sun and radiating down from the atmosphere is what you should add.
another one who can't read a simple graphic
Irony is ironic.
You never did explain how photons from the cooler surface of the Sun manage to travel through the much hotter corona of the Sun. Unless you think they are somehow blocked? Are they?

no one has.
Are they blocked? Or do they manage to leave the Sun's surface?
You don't know if photons can leave the surface of the Sun? Wow.
Trying to divert attention away from the fact that you had no idea where those temperatures were coming from...or that you don't know how to plug numbers into the SB equation?

If the only radiation hitting the surface was from the Sun, the temperature would be 255K.
Is that the only radiation?
