A space satellite in the shape of a sphere is traveling in outer space, where its surface temperature is held at 315.2K. The sphere “sees” only outer space, which can be considered as a black body with a temperature of 2K. The polished surface of the sphere has an emissivity of 0.15. Calculate the heat loss per m2 by radiation.
