Question: Suppose the Earth is really flat. Shaped like a penny, it has one side that faces the Sun at all times. Suppose this Earth is the same temperature everywhere (including the side that faces away from the Sun). Neglect any radiation losses off the rim of the Earth and assume there is no albedo or greenhouse effect. Treating it as a perfect blackbody, estimate the temperature of this new, flat Earth.
