it is when it is misused.back radiation, LOLback radiation----LOLI never said that the sun was radiating at -18...more lies on your part...I said the graphic showed the incoming radiation from the sun at -18 degrees....do you never tire of lying?...but do feel free to point out any post i made where I said that the sun itself was radiating at -18...
As per usual, you are making a fundemental error. The radiation being received by the Earth from the Sun is still 5000K radiation, simply attenuated by the Area term in the S-B equation being calculated for transit through three dimensional space. There is still the same amount of order per watt to be used up as entropy increase. Radiation from a -18 source has very little order present to affect entropy driven processes.
The quality of energy coming from the Sun is much different than the quality of energy being 'backradiated' from the atmosphere.
Pesky matter radiating in all directions.....
Physics, just awful!
