Surface Temperature Simulation during Snowball Earth Event
This project explores a simulation of Earth's surface temperature during the Snowball Earth event, using the Stefan-Boltzmann Law and factors like solar constant and planetary albedo. References include studies on global change limits and planetary energy balance calculations. The project visualizes surface temperature variations and ice coverage during this extreme climate scenario.

Stefan-Boltzmann Law: j* = T S(1 ) = 4FT S: solar constant : planetary albedo F: transmission factor : Stefan-Boltzmann constant T: temperature (E. Linacre) (P. Hoffman and D. Schrag, 2002) (L. Gates, et al, 1999)
