Temperature of a Blackbody Necessary To Balance The Energy Received by The Earth From The Sun

Question: How different from the average temperature of the earth would the temperature of a blackbody need to be in order to balance the energy received by the earth from the sun? Assume that the earth’s albedo (hemispherical reflectance) is 0.31, which means the earth reflects 0.31 of the solar…
