Some items still missing:

what's the right value for the average emissivity (1 - reflectivity) - i.e. what fraction of incoming sunlight is reflected by the surface, rather than absorbed?
because of orbital dynamics the solar constant varies - what is the range and what effect does this have on temperatures (seasonality?)
how low does the temperature drop during eclipses of the sun by the Earth?
what is the actual night-time profile?
what is the actual depth profile?

Arthur, the term used is Albedo, rather than reflectivity.Charles F. Radley 13:40, 14 June 2007 (UTC)
