Retain heat, forever?
Why must it retain heat forever...is the sun not coming up in 12 hours?....and then there is the heat generated by the mass of the atmosphere..
The atmosphere itself generates heat?
Ideal gas laws?....PV = nRT?....ever hear of it? Have any idea what it means?
I'm still waiting for your proof that the science says a 100 K object ceases radiating when a 200 K object approaches. Because the SB doesn't say that, not even a little bit.
Since I never claimed such a thing...you may be waiting for some time....lying about my position is getting to be a regular thing for you...are you really that dishonest?
The SB says that energy flows from warm to cold...one way with the magnitude of that transfer being determined by the difference between the warm radiator and its cooler surroundings...I have never said anything more than that regarding the SB law...you, on the other hand make all sorts of claims that the SB law doesn't..
Why must it retain heat forever...is the sun not coming up in 12 hours?....
How long does it retain heat? Does it ever release that heat? If so, how?
Ideal gas laws?....PV = nRT?....ever hear of it?
I have. You feel that means that the atmosphere itself generates heat?

Then let's get you on the record.
Does a 100 K object sitting all by itself radiate?
The SB says that energy flows from warm to cold
It gives you the equation to calculate how fast energy will move from warm to cold.
I've never seen any reference to a one way flow and I've never seen you produce one.
Do you have one you've been saving?
actually the atmosphere does store energy from daytime solar input. as the atmosphere warms up it also 'puffs' up, storing potential energy which is later given up during night.
of course SSDD has never given an answer to me as to whether potential energy is incorporated into his 'theory' that states photons only radiate to cooler objects. microstates and degrees of freedom anyone?
