Using Mathematic Models to Investigate Planitary Habitablity

Learners examine how the sun's intensity affects the temperature on various planets. They determine whether or not these planets could be habitable. Finally, they factor in the average albedo of the planets to determine whether or not this has an effect on them as well.
